ASTM E2990 Hormone Residue Detection in Processed Foods: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

ASTM E2990 is a standard test method for the detection of hormone residues in processed foods. This standard is developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), a leading international standards development organization. The standard provides a detailed protocol for laboratory testing, including sample preparation, testing procedures, and data analysis.

Relevant Standards

  • ASTM E2990: Standard Test Method for Detection of Hormone Residues in Processed Foods

  • ISO 17995:2016: Animal Feeding Stuffs - Determination of Steroid Residues (including hormone residues)

  • EN 14225-2:2009: Foodstuffs - Determination of steroidal hormones and their metabolites by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) ISO/TS 17640:2016: Animal feeding stuffs - Determination of steroid residues

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The detection of hormone residues in processed foods is regulated by various national and international laws, including:

  • The European Unions (EU) Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 on the placing of plant protection products on the market

  • The US FDAs Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)

  • The Codex Alimentarius Commissions Code of Practice for the Prevention and Reduction of Heavy Metals and Other Contaminants in Foods

    • International and National Standards

    ASTM E2990 is a widely recognized standard, accepted by regulatory agencies worldwide. However, national standards may differ depending on the country or region.

  • In the EU, EN 14225-2:2009 is an equivalent standard.

  • In the US, FDA guidelines for hormone residue testing are based on ASTM E2990.

  • Other countries, such as Japan and China, have their own national standards and regulations.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    ASTM is a leading international standards development organization. The organization develops voluntary consensus standards through a collaborative process involving industry experts, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.

    Standards Evolution and Updates

    Standards are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect new technologies, scientific findings, or changes in regulatory requirements. ASTM E2990 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication.
