ISO 57420 Deoxynivalenol Testing in Noodle Products
The presence of deoxynivalenol (DON) in food and feed products can pose significant health risks to humans and animals. DON, a mycotoxin produced by certain strains of Fusarium fungi, is particularly prevalent in cereal-based ingredients like wheat, barley, and maize. The testing of noodle products for DON compliance with ISO 57420 ensures the safety of food products and adherence to international standards.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory offers comprehensive testing services that adhere strictly to ISO 57420 guidelines. This service is essential in identifying and quantifying DON levels, which are critical for regulatory compliance and consumer safety. Testing is performed using advanced analytical techniques such as Liquid Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), ensuring high accuracy and precision.
The process begins with the collection of samples from various noodle products. These samples undergo rigorous preprocessing steps, including drying, grinding, and extraction to ensure homogeneity and eliminate potential contaminants. The extracted DON is then quantified using LC-MS/MS analysis, which provides results that are traceable back to international standards.
The standard ISO 57420 sets specific limits for DON in various food products to protect public health. For noodle products specifically, the acceptable limit of DON is typically set at 1 mg/kg according to EU regulations and other international guidelines. Our laboratory ensures that all tests are conducted under strict quality control measures, using certified reference materials and employing trained personnel.
The results of our testing serve multiple purposes: ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, providing data for internal quality management systems, supporting product labeling, and aiding in the decision-making process for R&D teams. By adhering to ISO 57420 standards, we help ensure that food products are safe and meet consumer expectations.
Our service is highly beneficial for various stakeholders within the food industry, including quality managers, compliance officers, research and development engineers, and procurement professionals. These professionals can rely on our testing results to make informed decisions about product safety and regulatory compliance. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every step of the process—from sample collection to final report—meets international standards.
In addition to compliance with ISO 57420, our laboratory also adheres to other relevant international standards such as EN 16789:2020 and ASTM E2384-15. These standards provide additional layers of quality assurance, ensuring that the testing process is robust and reliable.
Our team of experts is dedicated to providing accurate, timely, and reliable results. We understand the importance of these tests in maintaining food safety and trustworthiness. Our services are designed to support your organization's goals by offering a transparent and compliant approach to mycotoxin testing.
