Comprehensive Guide to EU 2018/782 Residue Control Plan for Animal-Based Food Products Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The European Unions (EU) Regulation 2018/782 establishes a residue control plan for animal-based food products, which requires laboratory testing to ensure compliance. This regulation is based on various international and national standards that govern the testing of residues in animal-based foods.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The EUs Food Safety Act (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002) provides the legal framework for ensuring the safety of food products, including animal-based foods. The Regulation 2018/782 is an amendment to the existing legislation, which strengthens the control measures for residues in animal-based foods.

International and National Standards

The testing of residues in animal-based foods is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials): E2535-11 - Standard Practice for Sampling and Sample Handling of Animal Feed and Fats

  • EN (European Standard): EN 16080:2008 - Meat and meat products - Residues of veterinary medicinal products and contaminants

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution): TS EN 16080:2010 - Et ve et ürünleri - Veteriner ilaç ürünleri ve kontaminanlar izleri

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations, such as ISO, ASTM, and EN, play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards for laboratory testing. These organizations collaborate with industry stakeholders to ensure that standards are relevant, effective, and aligned with emerging technologies.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in legislation, and shifting industry requirements. Standard development organizations regularly review and update existing standards to maintain their relevance and effectiveness.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and scope are relevant to the EU 2018/782 Residue control plan for animal-based food products testing:

  • ISO 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    • Scope: Laboratory testing and calibration services, including residue analysis in animal-based foods

  • EN 16080:2008 - Meat and meat products - Residues of veterinary medicinal products and contaminants

    • Scope: Residue analysis of veterinary medicinal products and contaminants in meat and meat products

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with these standards is mandatory for laboratories providing testing services to the animal-based food industry. Laboratories must demonstrate their competence by maintaining a quality management system, adhering to standard operating procedures, and conducting regular calibration and validation exercises.

    The EU 2018/782 Residue control plan for animal-based food products testing is essential for ensuring the safety of animal-derived foods. This section highlights the reasons why this test is required, its technical and business implications, and the consequences of non-compliance.

    Why this Test is Required

    The presence of residues in animal-based foods poses a significant risk to human health. Residues can originate from various sources, including veterinary medicinal products, environmental contaminants, and food processing chemicals. The EU 2018/782 Residue control plan aims to minimize the risks associated with residue contamination by establishing strict testing requirements for animal-based food products.

    Business and Technical Reasons

    Conducting this test is essential for several business and technical reasons:

  • Ensures compliance with EU regulations and legislation

  • Protects human health and safety

  • Maintains product quality and reputation

  • Prevents recalls, product withdrawals, and financial losses

  • Supports informed decision-making in the food industry

    • Consequences of Non-Compliance

    Non-compliance with the EU 2018/782 Residue control plan can result in severe consequences, including:

  • Fines and penalties for non-compliant operators

  • Product recalls and withdrawals

  • Loss of market share and revenue

  • Damage to reputation and brand image

    • Industries and Sectors Requiring this Testing

    The following industries and sectors require this testing:

  • Animal feed manufacturers

  • Meat processing companies

  • Dairy product manufacturers

  • Egg producers

  • Animal-derived food retailers

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    Residues in animal-based foods can pose significant health risks to consumers. The most common residues of concern include:

  • Veterinary medicinal products (e.g., antibiotics, growth promoters)

  • Environmental contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, pesticides)

  • Food processing chemicals (e.g., preservatives, coloring agents)

    • Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects

    Laboratories providing testing services for the EU 2018/782 Residue control plan must adhere to strict quality assurance and quality control procedures. These include:

  • Maintaining a quality management system

  • Adhering to standard operating procedures

  • Conducting regular calibration and validation exercises
