2012.25
Method Name
residues of three triphenylmethane dyes and theri metabolites in aquaculture products
y LC-MS/MS
Rationale (based on selection
criteria)
The Single Laboratory validated Method 2012.25 was recommended to First Action
Official Method Status following the face-to-face ERP meeting held in Las Vegas
September/October 2012. Following that the scope of the method was expanded from
just fish muscle tissue to include shrimp, tilapia, catfish, and salmon without significant
changes to the method procedure. The scope expanded method was subjected to a 14
laboratory collaborative study and the feedback from the participating laboratories were
all highly positive with the added recommendation that the method will provide a
needed gap in the residue monitoring control program for most countries for residues
of these dyes which have been recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission
not to be used in food animal production, especially aquaculture. The most significant
asset of this study was that because the analysis and interpretation of the collaborative
study data were so well handled by the authors, a consensus decision to recommend
this First to Final Action was recommended by the Expert Review Panel through a
teleconference. As chair of several ERPs in the past 4 years, I think this is the FIRST-
to-FINAL Official Status method that has been so recommended following a
teleconference call instead of a face-to-face. I strongly recommend that the role played
by the ERP be recognized and the authors of the collaborative study together with the
authors of the SLV be cited for this notable achievement.
