ISO 18643 Additive Residue Analysis in Processed Foods: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

The increasing demand for processed foods has led to a rise in the use of additives, such as preservatives, flavor enhancers, and colorants. However, the presence of these additives can have adverse effects on human health and the environment. To ensure the safety and quality of processed foods, manufacturers must conduct regular testing for additive residues.

Eurolab, a leading laboratory testing services provider, offers ISO 18643 Additive Residue Analysis in Processed Foods testing services to help manufacturers meet regulatory requirements and ensure product safety. This comprehensive guide will cover all aspects of this testing service, including standard-related information, test conditions and methodology, reporting and documentation, and the benefits of performing this test.

Standard-Related Information

ISO 18643 is a widely recognized international standard that specifies methods for the detection and quantification of residues from additives used in processed foods. This standard is based on the principles of ISO 17025, which ensures the quality and competence of laboratory testing services.

The standard applies to various types of additives, including:

  • Preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate)

  • Flavor enhancers (e.g., monosodium glutamate)

  • Colorants (e.g., tartrazine)

    • Legislative Framework

    Regulatory agencies around the world have established limits for additive residues in processed foods. In Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets maximum residue levels for additives used in food products.

    In the United States, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the use of additives in processed foods under Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

    International Standards

    ISO 18643 is an international standard that has been adopted by many countries around the world. Some notable standards related to additive residue analysis include:

  • EN 12895:2012, which specifies methods for the detection and quantification of residues from additives used in food products

  • TSE (Turkish Standard) 1428, which sets limits for additive residues in processed foods

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) are among the standard development organizations that have contributed to the development of ISO 18643.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, regulations, and research findings become available. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments in laboratory testing services and ensures its methods and procedures comply with current standards.

    Scope and Application

    ISO 18643 applies to various types of processed foods, including:
