Official Control of Food and Food Supplement Adulteration—Recent Examples

TDRM Workshop: Estimation of Measurement Uncertainty and Reference Materials The estimation of measurement uncertainty (MU) is an important, but often neglected part of method development and method validation. In this workshop, experts in the fields of environmental, agricultural, food, supplement, and clinical analysis will work through examples for the estimation of MU of analytical results in relevant matrix based samples. Different strategies for estimation of MU will be explained as well as the use of MU in relation to certified reference materials (CRMs) and proficiency testing (PT).

New Analytical Tools to Solve Old and New Challenges in Contaminant Analysis Laboratory Accreditation – Progress towards the Nation’s Integrated Food/Feed Safety System The U.S. FDA initiated formation of the Partnership for Food Protection (PFP) in 2008 to further the goal of creating an Integrated Food Safety System. The PFP plays an integral role in implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), particularly as it pertains to “improve the effectiveness of federal, state, and local partnerships to coordinate food safety and defense resources and reduce the incidence of foodborne illness.” FSMA stresses the importance of quality testing standards and directs FDA to establish a program for laboratory accreditation. In 2012, FDA entered into five-year cooperative agreements with 31 state food- testing laboratories to either attain ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation (23) or expand/maintain existing ISO accreditation (8). FDA also awarded a five-year cooperative agreement to the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) to support laboratory accreditation in collaboration with the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) and the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). In 2015, an additional 26 food/feed testing laboratories were awarded funding to obtain ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation attests to the competency and technical capability of a laboratory, leading to results which are defensible to a recognized standard. Accreditation supports the traceability and accountability of results generated by a laboratory that may be made available for consideration by federal agencies for enforcement actions. Investment in laboratory accreditation for the Nation’s regulatory food/feed testing laboratories will work to protect the public health by providing greater laboratory capacity of quality data submitted to regulatory food agencies.
