PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT PT-MT-731 - Meat-Based Sample
This is normally either a raw meat used in the production of burgers or sausages, or a cooked/ processed meat product. This sample tends to represent meat products more routinely consumed in the northern hemisphere, whilst sample 730 (cured meats) represents those more commonly found in the southern hemisphere. 18 analytes in one sample 4 Rounds per Year
The full range and availability of test materials and analytes is determined on an annual basis and may be added or removed. For accredited and non-accredited status, plus the most up to date sample data, please see the current application form/scheme description for this scheme.
