Hey! It's been a while. But I'm back with a new article for you!
To meet the new regulations for Ochratoxin A in coffee, companies must take several technical steps to ensure that their products meet the new regulatory limits.
Here are some of the technical aspects that companies will need to consider:
1. Sourcing high-quality coffee beans: Coffee producers will need to source higher-quality coffee beans that are less susceptible to fungal growth. This will require working closely with their suppliers to ensure that they are purchasing beans that meet the new regulatory requirements.
2. Improving production processes: Coffee producers will need to implement more stringent quality control measures to reduce the risk of contamination with Ochratoxin A. This may involve introducing new processing methods that reduce the risk of fungal growth or implementing regular testing of raw materials to ensure they are free from contamination.
3. Implementing rigorous testing procedures: Companies will need to invest in equipment and resources to ensure they can accurately test their coffee products to ensure they meet the new regulatory requirements. This may involve implementing new testing procedures or increasing the frequency of testing to ensure that coffee products are consistently below the new limits.
4. Keeping up-to-date with changes: Companies will need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the regulatory landscape to ensure that they are following the latest guidelines. This may involve working closely with regulatory bodies or industry associations to ensure that they are aware of any changes or updates to the regulations.
Whether it is sourcing high-quality coffee beans, improving production processes, implementing rigorous testing procedures, or keeping up-to-date with changes, coffee producers will need to take technical steps to ensure that their products meet the new regulatory limits for Ochratoxin A.
So this is where you can benefit from working together with ProGnosis Biotech to implement Ochratoxin A quality control testing. The innovation team provides easy-to-deploy immunoassay technology that ensures every coffee bean that goes out to the market is safe for consumption.
Until the next one,
