RECOMMENDATION:
Do you recommend that the ERP adopt this method as an AOAC
Official Method of Analysis (First Action
status)
?
ER 1
Yes
ER 2
no
ER 3
not at this time
ER 4
Yes
ER 5
Yes, but first some revisions (gluten / gliadin) need to be done in the manuscripts and check
whether the collab provided from AACC is 'free' to use in publications when moving to final
action
ER 6
The additional information is required from the authors before the manuscript can be
recommended for First action. The information pertinent to why only corn samples selected and
not other cereals, and no surface sample was part of the collaborative study as all these are in
the scope and applicability of the method. Also authors comments about 83% labs found
sample positive at around 3 mg/kg of gliadin. The gliadin content of less than 4 mg/kg in the
processed samples are expected to be negative per results reporting section of the manuscript.
ER 7
Yes, I would recommend adoption as First Action Status.
ER 8
No, not at current state. However, if the authors consider the recommendations and revise the
manuscript First Action status can be considered.
AFTER FIRST ACTION STATUS:
Is there any additional information that the ERP should consider in order to recommend the method for
Final Action status?
ER 1
...
ER 2
Omission of known cross-reactvities and other limitations, along with a misleading title. are
unacceptable.
ER 3
no
ER 4
Feedback from end users regarding how the method works in their hands in their respective
laboratories
ER 5
The provided collab data from AACC has strong focus on corn flour / corn based matrices
(snack). This may limit the scope of the method when moved to final action. If possible,
additional matrices to broaden the (matrix) scope when moving towards final action.
ER 6
This will depend on authors' response to comments regarding getting the method to the First
Action status.
ER 7
I believe the method should be tested on different surfaces and in a wider variety of matrices.
ER 8
No comment at this time.
