USDA FSIS Multi-Residue Profiling in Animal Feed
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Multi-Residue Profiling service is a critical tool for ensuring the safety of animal feed. This advanced analytical approach targets multiple pesticides simultaneously, providing comprehensive data that helps regulatory bodies make informed decisions about food safety standards.
This testing method ensures that all ingredients used in animal feed meet stringent safety and quality requirements set by international standards such as ISO and FSIS guidelines. By employing this service, stakeholders can verify compliance with regulations designed to protect both human health and the welfare of animals involved in agriculture.
The process begins with a thorough examination of raw materials intended for use in animal feed products. Samples are prepared according to specified protocols ensuring consistent results across different batches or types of feeds. Once processed, samples undergo multi-residue analysis using state-of-the-art equipment capable of detecting even trace amounts of prohibited substances.
Our laboratory follows strict procedures to ensure accurate and reliable test outcomes. Our team utilizes sophisticated instrumentation like Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) which allows for precise identification and quantification of numerous pesticide residues present in the sample matrix. Additionally, we employ validated methods compliant with official standards including those specified by FSIS.
After completing analysis, detailed reports are generated highlighting any detected residues along with their concentrations. These documents serve as valuable resources for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement personnel responsible for maintaining high standards throughout the supply chain.
The significance of this service cannot be overstated given its role in safeguarding public health through effective monitoring practices aimed at preventing contamination risks associated with improperly treated feedstuffs. It also supports continuous improvement efforts aimed at enhancing overall product quality while adhering to ever-evolving regulatory requirements.
Scope and Methodology
| Pesticide Residue Detection | Analytical Techniques Employed |
|---|---|
| Detection of various pesticides in animal feed samples. | Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) |
| Compliance with official standards like FSIS guidelines. | Validation using appropriate reference materials |
