Food Chemistry (QFCS)
"Encompassing more than 500 analytes and over 100 individual samples…"
International food safety regulations have evolved to reflect the incredible variety of foods that modern technology allows us to enjoy year-round, all around the world. Since the goods we produce can contain potentially harmful chemicals from multiple sources, testing on a massive scale is fundamental for food safety and stability, as well as quality and customer satisfaction.
The AXIO Proficiency Testing Quality in Food Chemistry Scheme (QFCS) is an extremely diverse food chemistry proficiency testing programme aimed at supporting labs to demonstrate their capability over a vast range of food analytes and ensure their regulatory compliance whatever the market they are selling in. Encompassing more than 500 analytes and over 100 individual samples, QFCS provides participating laboratories with a holistic, full-product approach that not only takes in pesticides, allergens, toxins, trace elements, etc., but also packaging, nutritional analysis and subtler aspects of quality – including authenticity for herbs and olive oil.
