Table 1: Why do we need an analytical range? A possible user may decide if an

analytical range is broad enough. At the moment the LoQ (or sometimes also LoD) is of

most interest since we are only interested in presence or absence. This may change

when threshold values will be installed (comparable to gluten).

Change: Delete the analytical range from the table

Table 1. Change recovery to mean recovery otherwise precision would not be

necessary any longer

Table 1. Instead of defining commodities we could separate the table into low-

processed samples (e.g. salad dressing, dough, ice cream) and high-processed

samples (e.g. bread, cookies, pasta): not fixed number decision by method developer

New Table 1 will be sent separately to Delia

Delete Table 2 and include examples in Table 1 as described in another comment

Table 2: Chicken is a possible cross-reacting commodity that needs to be

characterized (see also AOAC Guidelines by Abbott et al.). To be discussed in the

group if the list stated in the Abbott paper is sufficient.
