VICAM’s corporate mission is based on the fundamental human need
for safe and abundant food that is wholesome, healthful, and devoid
of mold mycotoxins. As a world-leading provider of mycotoxin
testing solutions, VICAM develops USDA and AOAC-approved rapid
quantitative screening and quantitative test solutions for a wide
variety of mycotoxins. These solutions not only minimize the costly
consequences of mycotoxin contamination, but also help ensure food
safety from farm-to-fork.
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring chemical byproducts of
ubiquitous mold species that are natural inhabitants of crop soils.
Severe rain or drought can encourage mycotoxin production and, once
released, mycotoxins are difficult to manage and virtually
impossible to destroy. The USDA, FDA, EU, and other international
government agencies impose specific regulations and guidelines for
acceptable levels of mycotoxins. Producers and exporters use
on-site and laboratory testing to ensure regulatory compliance and
to protect human and animal health from illnesses associated with
mycotoxins, including cancer, liver damage, and feed refusal in
animals.
Raghu Tantry, Principal Analyst at Frost & Sullivan, noted,
"With its wide portfolio of rapid tests for mycotoxins coupled with
its access to the latest research advancements, industry expertise,
and regulatory updates, VICAM is poised to meet the safety testing
needs of every sector of the modern and complex global food supply
chain for food and beverages."
Tantry continued, “Through its comprehensive product line vetted
by industries leaders and trusted by customers in more than 100
countries, VICAM is considered to be the preferred global provider
for next generation food safety technology and mycotoxin testing
solutions.”
“On behalf of the employees of VICAM and all of Waters
Corporation, we are honored to receive this recognition from such a
well-respected organization like Frost & Sullivan,” said
Marjorie Radlo-Zandi, Managing Director, VICAM. “As the trusted
partner of the global food and agricultural industry, VICAM is
proud to consistently deliver the superior products, responsive
service, and individualized support for industry-specific goals
that is expected from our world-leading products.”
