been accompanied with surges in adulteration of HDS ingredients and finished products. In some cases, this is due to accidental mis-identification of materials but in other cases, undisclosed materials are added to increase product efficacy or for economic benefit. This illegal practice creates a risk to public safety and negatively impacts public perception of HDS products. Due to the natural complexity of botanical ingredients and the ever-increasing complexity of HDS products, there is a need for advanced analytical techniques and methods to better understand the composition of HDS and for proper quality control and materials identification. In this session, four industry leaders will share their experiences and approaches to testing HDS, with a focus on analytical techniques that show great potential in solving today’s challenges in the industry. CO-CHAIR: Joe Romano, Waters Corporation CO-CHAIR: James Harnly, U.S. Department of Agriculture • James Harnly, U.S. Department of Agriculture Non-Targeted Metabolite Fingerprinting for Quality Control of Herbal and Dietary Supplements • Amitabh Chandra, AMWAY Significance of Fit for Purpose Methods for Evaluating Botanical Authentication/Adulteration • John Travis, NSF International Advanced Tools and Techniques for Uncovering Adulteration in Dietary Supplements • Spencer Carter, Genysis Labs Analysis of Yohimbine and Analogs by UPLC and by LC/MS/MS New Blood 2016: Developing Methods for the Detection of Chemical Analytes, Residues, and Contaminants The detection of chemical analytes, residues, and contaminants in food, drugs, cosmetics, and other agricultural commodities is an interesting, challenging, and continually evolving discipline. In order to maintain a vibrant and active Chemical Contaminants Community in AOAC, young scientists must be encouraged to work in these areas. The purpose of this session is to provide members of our community an opportunity to present their work for the first time at a technical session at the AOAC Annual Meeting. CO-CHAIR: Alexander Krynitsky, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Retired CO-CHAIR: Michael McLaughlin, U.S. Food and Drug Administration CO-CHAIR: Jon Wong, U.S. Food and Drug Administration • Rebecca Stevens, Restek Corporation Simultaneous Determination of Multiclass Halogenated Organic Contaminants in Drinking Water at Sub-Pub Levels Using a Simple Large Volume Injection Technique for GC-MS • Limian Zhao, Agilent Technologies Benefits of Increased Matrix Removal on Pesticide Analysis in complicated Samples by GC-MS/MS

Control of Precautionary Allergen Labeling – What Have We Done? Precautionary allergen labeling was introduced by the food industry to help manage and communicate the possibility of reaction from the unintended presence of allergens in foods. However, in its current form, the precautionary allergen labeling is counterproductive for consumers with food allergies. The proliferation of precautionary labeling reduces food choices and encourages risk taking behavior of allergic consumers. Is there more that could be done to further promote the health and safety of people with food allergies? Establishing risk-based allergen thresholds or action levels can serve as a meaningful approach to improve allergen management and its potential impact on public health. CO-CHAIR: Jupiter Yeung, Nestlé Nutrition CO-CHAIR: Samuel Godefroy, University of Laval • Stefano Luccioli, U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA Perspective on Allergen Threshold • Stephen Taylor, Food Allergy Research and Resource Program Allergen Thresholds and Quantitative Risk Assessment • Robin Sherlock, DTS Food Laboratories VITAL Approach on Risk-Based Precautionary Allergen Labeling • Steven Gendel, IEH Laboratories and Consulting Group How Can Industry and Government Work Together towards Effective Precautionary Allergen Labeling Management? • Samuel Godefroy, University of Laval Global Perspective on Allergen Management Current Approaches in Authentication and Adulteration for Herbal and Dietary Supplements (HDS) The herbal and dietary supplement (HDS) industry has shown steady growth for more than 10 years and global annual revenues approached $62 billion USD in 2014. This has raised concerns as surges in growth have
