A tool that provides quick and cost effective analysis of aflatoxin levels in raw materials and their derived products has been rated effective by the USDA, said developer Euro-Diagnostica.
The Netherlands-based company said that its Flow-Through Rapid Test (FTRTest) for Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has received approval from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA).
In order to ensure that reliable, rapid tests are commercially available, GIPSA provides a validation programme to verify the performance of kits. The manufacturer is required to submit data that supports the claims of the rapid test.
The supplier of mycotoxin diagnostic equipment said that the certification verifies the reliability and accuracy of its AFB1 detection kit.
