Mycotoxins:A Growing Threat To Food Security In A Changing Climate

 

The relationship between mycotoxins and climate change represents a significant risk to food security, human health, and agricultural sustainability.  Read our new blog by Patrick McNamara, Global Innovations and Quality Manager, Intertek Food Services to learn about:

  • The different types of mycotoxins and the impact they can have on human health. 
  • The impact of climate change on mycotoxin production, in particular temperature, precipitation and CO2 levels. 
  • Risk mitigation strategies spanning agricultural processes, testing, climate adaptation and industry and public education. 

 

Consumable orders

This is a kindly reminder that we require a minimum of 72 hours notice for consumable orders. This allows us to ensure that we have sufficient stock available and allows ample time for us to prepare and dispatch the items to you. We understand that sometimes things can get busy and deadlines can slip our minds, so we just wanted to send you a friendly reminder to help avoid any inconvenience or delays in receiving your order. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We greatly appreciate your business and look forward to serving you.

Sample Collection Cut-Off time

Just a polite reminder that the cut off time for arranging sample collections is 12noon,  the working day prior to required date.  Collections requested after this time will not be able to be accommodated and will instead be scheduled for the next available day.

This is necessary in order to ensure that we can better accommodate client needs – to allow us to time to plan routes more efficiently, ensure collections can be scheduled more closely to expected times unaffected by additional collections requested later in the day, ensure samples can be returned to the laboratory as soon as feasible (thus allowing results to be made available as soon as possible) as well as ensuring Intertek’s commitments to sustainability as a business can be met by allowing routes to be more optimally planned.
 
We are committed to ensuring we can continue to offer the flexibility of next-day collections to meet your requirements as a customer, whilst keep associated testing arrangements, turnaround times and costs competitive for all.
 
Thank you in advance
 
NB Registration of sample via Netportal does not automatically arrange a sample collection, this needs to be booked via our Customer Service team.
