ISO 70119 T-2 and HT-2 Profiling in Baby Foods

ISO 70119 T-2 and HT-2 Profiling in Baby Foods

The presence of mycotoxins such as T-2 and HT-2 toxins in baby foods poses significant health risks, particularly to infants whose immune systems are still developing. These potent toxins can cause severe illness or even death if not properly identified and quantified during the testing process. This service focuses on the rigorous analysis of these toxins using ISO 70119 standards, ensuring that infant formula and other baby foods meet stringent international safety criteria.

Our laboratory employs advanced analytical techniques to profile T-2 and HT-2 mycotoxins in samples from various food products intended for infants. The process begins with meticulous sample preparation, which involves homogenization followed by extraction using appropriate solvents designed to target the specific mycotoxin structures. Post-extraction, clean-up steps are performed to eliminate interference from other compounds present in the matrix.

The selected analytical method for detecting these toxins is Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), which provides high sensitivity and selectivity necessary for accurate quantification of trace levels of mycotoxins. LC-MS allows us to not only detect but also quantify both T-2 and HT-2 simultaneously, providing a comprehensive profile of the toxin content within the sample.

Our proficiency in this area has been recognized by numerous international standards bodies including ISO (International Organization for Standardization), making our results universally accepted. We adhere strictly to ISO 70119 guidelines which ensure that all analytical processes are carried out under controlled conditions, thus minimizing potential sources of error.

The importance of this service cannot be overstated given the critical role played by baby formula and related products in infants' nutrition. By ensuring compliance with strict regulatory requirements such as those outlined in ISO 70119, we contribute significantly towards safeguarding public health. Our commitment to quality is further exemplified through our participation in proficiency testing programs organized by recognized authorities like AOAC International (Association of Analytical Chemists).

In summary, our ISO 70119 T-2 and HT-2 Profiling service offers a robust solution for addressing concerns about mycotoxin contamination in infant nutrition products. Through precise analytical methods combined with adherence to global standards, we provide peace-of-mind assurance that every batch of tested product meets the highest safety standards.
