ISO 50011 Antibiotic Residue Screening in Infant Formula
The rigorous testing of infant formula to ensure it is free from antibiotic residues is a critical component of food safety and quality assurance. This service, compliant with ISO 50011 standards, guarantees the absence of potentially harmful antibiotics that could compromise the health of infants consuming these products.
Infant formula serves as the primary source of nutrition for many newborns in their early stages of life, making it essential to adhere to stringent testing protocols. Antibiotics present in infant formulas can lead to serious health risks such as antibiotic resistance and disruption of the gut microbiota. Therefore, accurate and reliable antibiotic residue testing is imperative.
The process involves several key steps including sample preparation, extraction methods, and the use of sensitive analytical instruments capable of detecting even trace amounts of antibiotics. Compliance with ISO 50011 ensures that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions to maintain precision and accuracy.
Our laboratory employs a multi-step approach for antibiotic residue screening in infant formula:
- Sample selection based on batch characteristics
- Extraction using appropriate solvents
- Cleanup steps to remove interfering matrix components
- Analytical techniques such as HPLC-MS/MS for quantification
The use of these methods ensures that any antibiotic residues are detected at the lowest possible level, thereby safeguarding infant health. Compliance with ISO 50011 not only guarantees accurate results but also aligns our testing practices with international standards.
For quality managers and compliance officers, ensuring that your products meet stringent safety regulations is crucial for maintaining consumer trust and regulatory compliance. Our service provides you with peace of mind by offering reliable test results which can be used to make informed decisions about product safety and quality.
