ASTM D6846 Food Additive Residue Quantification by GC-MS Laboratory Testing Service

Ensuring Food Safety and Compliance

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab is committed to delivering high-quality analysis and results that meet the stringent standards of food safety regulations. In this article, we will delve into the world of ASTM D6846 Food Additive Residue Quantification by GC-MS testing, exploring its significance, requirements, methodology, and benefits.

Standard-Related Information

ASTM D6846 is a widely recognized standard for quantifying residues of certain food additives in food products. This standard was developed to ensure the safety and quality of food products, particularly those containing synthetic colorants, flavorings, and other additives. The standard applies to various industries, including food manufacturers, processors, and distributors.

ISO/IEC 17025:2005

Eurolab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005, which provides the requirements for laboratory competence in testing and calibration. Our accreditation ensures that our laboratory testing services meet international standards for quality, accuracy, and reliability.

Regulatory Framework

The use of food additives in food products is regulated by various national and international agencies. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the use of food additives under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDC Act). The European Union has its own regulations on food additives, including the EUs General Food Law Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.

Standard Compliance Requirements

Industry-specific standards and regulations govern the use of food additives in various sectors. For example:

  • Food and Beverage Industry: FDAs FDC Act, USDAs Federal Meat Inspection Act, and FDAs Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines.

  • Pharmaceutical Industry: FDAs cGMP guidelines for finished pharmaceuticals.

  • Cosmetics Industry: EUs Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

    • Why is ASTM D6846 Testing Required?

    The detection of food additive residues in food products poses significant health risks to consumers. Non-compliance with regulatory requirements can lead to product recalls, financial losses, and damage to brand reputation.
