Foodstuffs - Detection of food allergens by liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods - General considerations

Scope

This document establishes an overall framework covering qualitative and quantitative methods for the determination of food allergens and allergenic ingredients using mass spectrometry-based methods for the determination of specific peptides/proteins. This document provides general guidelines and performance criteria applicable to this methodology. Guidelines, minimum requirements and performance criteria laid down in this document are intended to ensure that comparable and reproducible results are obtained by different analysts, instrumentation and laboratories.
