ISO 15006 Growth Promoter Residue Detection in Aquaculture

ISO 15006 Growth Promoter Residue Detection in Aquaculture

The detection of growth promoter residues is crucial for ensuring food safety and compliance with international standards. ISO 15006 outlines the procedures to detect chloramphenicol, florfenicol, and other related compounds that are prohibited in aquaculture. This service ensures that seafood products meet stringent regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.

The process involves several key steps: sample collection, preliminary screening using rapid detection kits or lateral flow assays, followed by confirmatory testing with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The use of HPLC provides accurate quantification of the growth promoter residues in the sampled products. This service is vital for preventing contamination and ensuring the integrity of aquaculture operations.

Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 15006 standards, which include detailed protocols for sample preparation, method validation, and quality control measures. By leveraging this international standard, we ensure that our clients receive reliable results that are both accurate and reproducible. This is particularly important in the context of global trade and consumer safety.

Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to severe consequences, including product recalls, damage to reputation, and legal penalties. Our service not only helps prevent such issues but also provides peace of mind by ensuring that your products meet all necessary standards.

The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. Chloramphenicol and other growth promoters are banned in aquaculture because they can have harmful effects on human health, including the development of antibiotic resistance and potential toxicity. By detecting these residues early, we contribute to a safer food supply chain.

Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and experienced staff who understand the nuances of this complex testing process. We pride ourselves on providing timely results that are both accurate and reliable. Our commitment to quality assurance ensures that our clients can trust the integrity of their products, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Compliance with ISO 15006 is not just a regulatory requirement; it is an essential part of maintaining sustainable aquaculture practices. By adhering to these standards, we help protect both human health and environmental sustainability. Our service goes beyond mere compliance—it promotes best practices that benefit all stakeholders involved in the seafood industry.

Given the global nature of trade in seafood products, it is imperative to ensure that every link in the supply chain meets international standards. This includes not only the production phase but also processing, storage, and transportation. By offering ISO 15006 growth promoter residue detection services, we play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of this complex supply chain.

In summary, our service is designed to meet the stringent requirements set forth by ISO 15006, ensuring that your seafood products are free from prohibited growth promoters. This commitment to quality and compliance not only protects you from potential legal issues but also enhances the reputation of your brand in the eyes of consumers and regulatory bodies.
