LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing Schemes 2027
Meat & Fish QMAS
“Official control laboratories must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025” Global demand for high-quality meat, fish and seafood products remains strong – with the world producing more than three times as much meat as it did 50 years ago, and seafood accounting for 7% of our total protein intake. Customer expectations that such products are both authentic and free from original, fraudulent or accidental contamination mean that manufacturing processes are highly regulated. As a result, official control laboratories must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and participate in proficiency testing. Our Meat and Fish Scheme (QMAS) is designed to ensure that the wide range of laboratories involved in ensuring that products are compliant – from in-house and contract organisations to government institutions – can have confidence in the integrity of their results. It also encompasses a wide range of analyses, from quality assurance and elemental testing, to authenticity and contaminant testing employing sophisticated instrumental analysis.
Types of testing:
Nutritional Information Elements Authenticity/Identification Additives
Contaminants Veterinary Drug residues Microbiological Testing
