[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7877468, member: 23184"] It's alright lads, UK Flour Millers say... [B]"The lack of a universal farm assurance scheme means that imported wheat is subject to a much more rigorous system of checks and tests than home-grown. In addition to checks on technical specification, a sample will be taken on each lot of 200 tonnes and tested for a full suite of pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and other potential contaminants at the seller’s expense." [/B] Of course they sample each load for HFN, protein etc, but my man says he [B]got one assurance lab test result per 60,000t.[/B] Not one every 200t. The GAFTA sampling rules say take a 1kg sample every 50 to 100t onboarded, put all those samples in a bucket and mix them up, take a sub sample and send it to the lab. So on a 60,000t cargo the final analysis is 1/600 dilution of all the original samples. So the blending/dilution means it's never going to fail. [/QUOTE]
