Test Description

Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. Fapas veterinary medicine proficiency test materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The proficiency tests are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The proficiency tests are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).

We have introduced glucocorticoids as new veterinary medicine residues in 2017.

Veterinary medicines are used across a range of livestock all around the world. Therefore the substantial impact reach which can be achieved through large scale poor farming practices requires effective testing processes from which to mitigate any risks to the consumer.

Bovine liver gives a good indication of residue levels due to the function within the body the liver addresses. As such it is ideal to assess your testing accuracy for known veterinary medicines.

Through Fapas proficiency testing activities real food matrices can be utilised from which to ensure only high quality testing arrangements can be used for your routine analysis activities. This can ensure only high quality test results are offered to your customers and regulators, safeguarding your reputation for credible, repeatable test results.
