ISO 42419 Pesticide Profiling in Fortified Dairy Products
The ISO standard ISO 42419 provides a comprehensive approach to profiling pesticide residues in fortified dairy products. This service is designed specifically for food and feed testing, focusing on ensuring the safety of consumers by detecting trace amounts of pesticides that might have been inadvertently introduced during processing or fortification.
The process begins with the collection of samples from various fortified dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt, and infant formula. These samples are then prepared according to the detailed procedures outlined in ISO 42419. This includes homogenization, dilution, and extraction steps that ensure accurate and reliable results.
The analytical method used is liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which is highly sensitive and capable of identifying even the smallest traces of pesticides. The use of LC-MS/MS allows for precise quantification and qualitative analysis, making it ideal for detecting multiple pesticide residues simultaneously.
Sample preparation involves several steps to ensure that all residues are extracted efficiently. This includes adding appropriate solvents, vortex mixing, and allowing sufficient time for the extraction process. After extraction, samples undergo clean-up procedures using solid-phase extraction cartridges to remove interfering substances before analysis.
The detection limits specified in ISO 42419 are stringent, ensuring that any pesticide residues exceeding regulatory thresholds can be accurately identified. Regulatory compliance is crucial in this sector, and our laboratory adheres strictly to these standards to provide accurate results.
Results from the testing process are reported comprehensively, including detailed information on detected pesticides, their concentrations, and comparison against established safety limits as defined by relevant international standards such as Codex Alimentarius. This ensures transparency and reliability for clients responsible for food safety.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated, especially given the increasing complexity and variability in fortification processes across different regions. By adhering to ISO 42419, we help our clients maintain high standards of quality control and compliance.
- Ensures accurate detection of pesticide residues
- Safeguards against potential health risks associated with excessive exposure
- Promotes regulatory compliance across various jurisdictions
- Aids in maintaining consumer trust through transparent reporting practices
In summary, ISO 42419 Pesticide Profiling in Fortified Dairy Products is an essential service for those involved in the production and distribution of fortified dairy products. It plays a critical role in ensuring food safety by providing reliable data on pesticide residues.
