Who We Are FAPAS® 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 ability of your staff, it will 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 proficiency tests 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 quality checks 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.

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 exposure to these carcinogenic compounds for humans. Given the risk to human health from PAHs in food, the European Commission established maximum levels for PAHs and identified a group of 4 PAHs as indicators 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, Melamine Industrial 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 the quality 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.
