EN 25979 Growth Promoter Screening in Dairy Foods
Compliance with regulatory standards is critical for dairy producers and processors to ensure the safety of their products. The European standard EN 25979 specifies methods for screening growth promoters, including ionophores, in milk and dairy foods. This service at Eurolab ensures that your dairy products meet stringent legal requirements without compromising product quality.
Ionophores are widely used as feed additives to improve livestock productivity by enhancing nutrient absorption. However, their presence in end products like milk can pose health risks if not controlled within permissible limits. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the guidelines provided in EN 25979, which provides a robust framework for screening ionophores and other growth promoters.
The process begins with meticulous sampling of raw materials or finished dairy goods. Samples are then prepared according to standard protocols before undergoing analysis using advanced chromatographic techniques such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This instrumentation allows for the detection and quantification of even trace amounts of ionophores.
Our team of experts ensures that all samples are processed efficiently to deliver accurate results within specified timeframes. Compliance with EN 25979 not only safeguards consumer health but also protects your brand reputation by demonstrating adherence to international best practices.
In addition to ensuring regulatory compliance, our service helps you maintain the highest standards of quality in your dairy products. By regularly screening for growth promoters, you can identify potential issues early on and make necessary adjustments to your production processes. This proactive approach contributes significantly to maintaining a consistent product standard across batches.
The impact of this service extends beyond mere compliance; it plays an essential role in upholding the integrity and reputation of dairy products within the global market. Consumers trust brands that prioritize safety above all else, making EN 25979 screening an indispensable tool for maintaining consumer confidence.
