ISO 36520 Antibiotic Profiling in Meat Snacks
The ISO 36520 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of veterinary drug residues, including antibiotics, in meat snacks. This service ensures that food products meet strict regulatory standards and consumer expectations regarding safety and quality.
Meat snacks are a popular category within the food sector, often consumed by children and adults alike. The presence of even trace amounts of veterinary drugs can pose significant health risks if not properly controlled. Compliance with ISO 36520 is crucial for manufacturers to protect public health and maintain consumer trust.
The process involves several critical steps: sample collection, extraction, purification, and analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). This method allows for the precise quantification of various antibiotic residues. The results are reported in parts per billion (ppb), providing a clear indication of compliance levels.
Our team of experts ensures that every test adheres to international standards, including ISO 36520, ensuring accuracy and reliability. We use state-of-the-art equipment and follow strict protocols to deliver accurate results promptly.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. It helps manufacturers comply with regulatory requirements, avoid potential legal issues, and maintain a positive brand reputation. By adhering to ISO 36520 standards, food producers can ensure their products are safe for consumption and meet global market demands.

Quality and Reliability Assurance
The ISO 36520 Antibiotic Profiling service is designed to provide reliable results that can be used to ensure the safety of meat snacks. Our testing process involves rigorous quality control measures, ensuring every sample is handled with care and precision.
We employ a multi-step approach to minimize errors and ensure accurate results. The first step is proper sampling, which is critical in representing the entire batch accurately. Once collected, samples undergo extraction using validated methods that eliminate interference from other compounds.
Purification ensures the removal of impurities before analysis. This step enhances the sensitivity of detection, making it easier to identify even minute quantities of antibiotics. Following purification, the sample is ready for HPLC-MS analysis.
The analytical method used in this testing process adheres strictly to ISO 36520 standards. This ensures that the results are both reproducible and consistent across different laboratories. The use of advanced chromatographic techniques allows us to identify a wide range of antibiotics, including those not commonly detected by simpler methods.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in our detailed reporting process. We provide comprehensive reports detailing all findings, along with recommendations for any necessary corrective actions. These reports are designed to help manufacturers understand the full scope of their testing and make informed decisions about product safety.
Environmental and Sustainability Contributions
The ISO 36520 Antibiotic Profiling service not only ensures food safety but also contributes positively to environmental sustainability. By identifying antibiotic residues in meat snacks, we help manufacturers take proactive steps towards reducing the overall use of antibiotics in livestock.
This reduction can lead to a decrease in antimicrobial resistance, which is a growing global concern. By adhering to strict testing protocols and ensuring compliance with ISO standards, we support sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both human health and the environment.
Our service also promotes responsible sourcing by helping manufacturers identify potential sources of contamination early. This allows for better management of supply chains, reducing the risk of introducing harmful substances into the food chain.
The use of advanced analytical techniques in our testing process helps minimize waste generation. By ensuring that only necessary samples are collected and analyzed, we contribute to more efficient resource utilization. Additionally, our commitment to data security ensures that sensitive information is protected, promoting responsible business practices.
