Analysis of Dioxins and PCBs

It is to be taken from current press reports that Japan and Korea imposed an import stop for Buffalo Mozzarella from Campania (Italy).

Italian investigators had proven the high-poisonous dioxin in the milk of buffalos, which is used for the production of the cheese.

A multiplicity of producers and breed enterprises is concerned.
Over the entry path there are so far only assumptions.

Present the European Union examines the further proceeding.

Eurofins | GfA has more than 20 years experience in the analysis of Dioxins and PCBs including highly toxic co-PCBs in food and feed matrices (e.g. milk, cheese).

Eurofins | GfA is DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited for the analysis of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in food, feed, environmental samples and many other matrices.

Our analytical procedures and QA are in compliance with the requirements for the HRGC/HRMS analysis of food and feed for PCDD/Fs and PCBs as laid down in the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1883/2006 and EC-Directive 2002/70/EC.

Running 10 High resolution mass-spectrometers exclusively for PCDD/F and PCB analyses guarantees high capacities and short turn-around times.
