Workshop: “Seed to Shelf” — What is the Sweet Spot
between Manufacturers/Testing Labs/Supply Chain for
Dietary Supplements and Foods?
Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations for Dietary
Supplements have been in place since 2007, and full compliance has
been required since 2010. At the same time food safety modernization
act (FSMA) from FDA was signed into a law in January 2011. Several
years of theoretical discussions are in the process of becoming informed
by actual laboratory practice and FDA enforcement, and a number of
FSMA provisions have just gone into effect, with more to go into effect
in the summer of 2016. We successfully held two heavily attended
roundtables in the 129th and 130th AOAC meetings where the audience
and the industry expert panel had an interactive discussion on all the
issues, burning questions and pain points surrounding them. Effective
communication and relationship between supply chain, testing labs and
manufacturers came out as one of the challenge / root cause that needs
attention for a smoother compliance with cGMP and FSMA enforcement
after these discussions. This session is designed to be an instructor
led (round robin) workshop from representatives of three key areas
(testing labs, manufacturing and supply chain) who will share their
experience and insights, answer questions as well as recommend good
practice guidelines to create a sweet spot between them for addressing
compliance with current and future regulations, quality and safety of
the food, nutrition and supplements products in general.

Developing and Validating Multi-Residue/Multi-Class Screening
Methods for Analysis of Chemical Contaminants in Food
Using GC- and LC-Chromatography and High Resolution
Mass Spectrometry
There has been great interest and effort by a number of national and
international bodies to develop and validate multi-class and multi-
residue screening methods using high resolution mass spectrometry
to screen veterinary drugs, pesticides, etc. in food commodities.
This scientific session provides a platform for scientists from the
international food safety related governmental agencies, industries
and academia to present and discuss their recent achievements
and challenges on the development of multi-class or multi-residue
screening methods for targeted and untargeted analysis using GC- and
LC-high resolution mass spectrometry. The emerging technologies
to be discussed include (Q)-Orbitrap and (Q)-TOF etc. The validation
guidelines and the method performance criteria, especially for screening
based on high mass-resolution mass spectrometry, are also discussed.
Overall, the session will be of interest to scientists and managers of
analytical laboratories to increase their sample throughput or improve
monitoring efficiency.

Hot Topic Roundtable: The Darker Side of Food Allergens
— Vulnerability Assessment and Prevention of Product
Adulteration with Food Allergens
Over the past years, several allergens have been used as food
adulterants. FARRP reported the replacement of pine nuts in a pesto
with peanuts, Paprika powders have allegedly been adulterated with
almonds, whey protein was found in orange juices and last year FDA
had the largest allergen related recall in its history when substantial
amounts of peanut were found in ground cumin.
The panel discussion with stakeholders from relevant bodies, including
food industry, government, assay providers and will discuss how
food industry and government deal with such incidences when they
occur (crises management), and how vulnerability assessments for
the adulteration of foods with allergens are made. It will look into
proactive actions to prevent further occurrence and tools to minimize
risk, including intelligence gathering and analytical tools available to
support these assessments.
