Who We AreFAPAS® is the leading global provider of proficiency testing schemes, quality control

samples and reference materials in the food sector, offering products throughout the

year.

Proficiency testing is an independent check of your laboratory procedures providing you

with a completely confidential assessment of your capability. Not only does participation

in the relevant testing schemes allow you to demonstrate your systems and the technical

abili ty of your staff, it wil l also help you gain and maintain ISO/17025 accreditation.

Established in 1990, we are an experienced, accredited provider of proficiency tests for the food and

water, environmental chemistry and microbiology sectors. Taking part in our proficiency tests provides

you with the confidence in your laboratory equipment, methods and staff, and assurance that you are

delivering the quality results required by your customers.

We provide our participants with a confidential service that allows you to participate at a level that suits

you; there is no minimum number of proficiency tests that you must take part in each year. Our system

provides an easy reporting facility via our website and our comprehensive reports, which receive

rigorous statistical analysis, contain method comparisons.

We also offer quality control samples and reference materials from selected food chemistry proficiencytests which can be purchased easily through our website throughout the year.

Our four FAPAS proficiency testing schemes cover food chemistry, food microbiology, GM and water

and environmental analysis.

FAPAS® Proficiency Tests

Proficiency Testing in Food Chemistry

Proficiency testing is an essential part of laboratory quality procedures. Taking part

gives you confidence in your laboratory equipment, methods and staff, and assurance

that you are delivering the quality results demanded by your customers.

FAPAS® covers chemical analysis of real food samples for a wide range of target analytes including:

nutritional components, additives, natural contaminants, pesticide and veterinary medicine residues, and

packaging chemical migrants.

Participation can be at a level that suits your business – from taking part in one of our scheduled tests

through to company-specific closed tests. Quality control materials are available for your own qualitychecks or for training purposes.

Results from each proficiency test receive rigorous statistical analysis, ensuring you have clear feedback

on your performance. Comprehensive reports provide information on analytical methods used by other

participants. We can provide problem-solving consultancy on your laboratory procedures if required.

Participation in FAPAS® is easy. Arrangements can be made through our network of agents, or via our

website, www.fapas.com. FAPAS Food Chemistry follows international guidelines for proficiency testing

and is accredited by UKAS to ISO/IEC 17043.

Halal

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Halal Proficiency Testing Scheme which focuses onpork and alcohol contamination in a range of food products. With pork we inspect the DNA sequence

order structure of specific meats as they are different, and with alcohol we can test at very low levels,

due to the nature of alcohol molecules being very volatile.

Oils & Fats

The rancidity of fats and oils is determined by the level of oxidation in a sample. There are various forms

of rancidity testing which are tested through the FAPAS® range of proficiency tests. Testing is important

to demonstrate the quality and shelf life of a product.

Authenticity

With food authenticity under the spotlight, consumers are demanding assurance that their food is what it

says it is. Is that burger really beef? The ability to determine the authenticity of foods can prevent

mislabelling, substitution of cheaper ingredients, and adulteration. All of which are risks in the supply

chain.

All of the meat based authenticity tests are qualitative tests (presence/absence) to determine whether

adulteration/contamination of any other species has occurred.

Migration – Overall & Specific

Foods are packaged in materials intended to protect the product, increase its shelf life and make it more

attractive to the consumer. Those same packaging materials, however, could actually leach undesirable

chemicals into the food. Bisphenol A has received a lot of media attention due to its presence in products

intended for use by infants.

Environmental Contaminants

The occurrence of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in foodstuffs is a major source of exposureto these carcinogenic compounds for humans. Given the risk to human health from PAHs in food, theEuropean Commission established maximum levels for PAHs and identified a group of 4 PAHs asindicators based on occurrence and toxicity in EC 1881/2006. These include benzo[a]pyrene (BaP),benz[a]anthracene (BaA), benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) and chrysene (CHR).

Acrylamide, Furan, 3-MCPD, MelamineIndustrial chemicals such as acrylamide and melamine are known to be harmful to human health if

consumed and are strictly regulated. There have been cases of adulteration where melamine has been

added to food to artificially increase its apparent protein content. Therefore, the ability to accurately

measure its presence is important to retailers and consumers.

Veterinary Drug Residues

Veterinary drugs are frequently used to treat disease and promote healthy livestock to improve thequality or yield of meat and animal products. This introduces the risk of veterinary drug residues and

their metabolites entering the food chain if they persist in the animal products and their presence is

tightly regulated.

We intend to use material containing incurred residues wherever possible. Refer to the list on page 18

for details of potential residues in tests where only general categories are stated.

Mycotoxins – Aflatoxins & Multi-Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or

during storage. It is estimated that 25% of the world’s food crops are affected, resulting in large

commercial losses. FAPAS® has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for

emerging mycotoxins.

Metallic Contaminants

The presence of metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury in food is of particular concern due to their

toxicity. These naturally occurring chemicals can occur as residues in food by a range of mechanisms such as their

natural presence in the environment or contamination during food processing and storage. Their accumulation in

the body can lead to harmful effects over time and their presence in foodstuffs is strictly regulated.
