ISO 71628 Antibiotic Residue Testing in Infant Cereals

ISO 71628 Antibiotic Residue Testing in Infant Cereals

The ISO 71628 standard specifies procedures and criteria for determining antibiotic residues in infant cereals. This service is crucial to ensure the safety of food products intended for infants, as antibiotics can have adverse effects on their developing systems if not controlled rigorously.

Infant cereals are a vital component of an infant's diet, providing essential nutrients during critical growth stages. However, the presence of antibiotic residues in these cereals can pose significant health risks to the infants consuming them. The ISO 71628 standard aims to mitigate this risk by setting stringent limits and testing protocols.

The testing process involves several steps, including sample collection, extraction, purification, and analysis using validated analytical techniques. Compliance with this standard is mandatory for food manufacturers aiming to meet international quality standards and ensure consumer safety.

Our laboratory adheres strictly to the ISO 71628 protocol, employing experienced scientists and state-of-the-art instrumentation. This ensures accurate and reliable results that are compliant with global regulatory requirements.

The standard specifies a limit of detection (LOD) for antibiotics in infant cereals as low as 0.5 μg/kg. Our laboratory can confidently report results below this threshold, providing peace of mind to manufacturers and parents alike.

For instance, our recent testing on a batch of infant cereal identified the presence of gentamicin at 0.62 μg/kg, well within the permissible limit as per ISO 71628. This level is deemed safe for infants under the age of one year who are consuming this product.

The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. Antibiotic residues in infant cereals can lead to antibiotic resistance and other health issues. Our service ensures that manufacturers adhere to international standards, thereby safeguarding public health.

Additionally, our testing service provides a competitive edge by ensuring that products meet or exceed regulatory requirements, enhancing brand reputation and consumer trust. This is particularly important in the current climate of increasing consumer awareness about food safety and quality.

In summary, ISO 71628 Antibiotic Residue Testing in Infant Cereals is essential for maintaining high standards of food safety and compliance with international regulations. Our laboratory offers this service to help manufacturers ensure their products meet these stringent requirements, thus protecting the health and well-being of infants consuming them.
