The method tested has can determine the GOS content of most infant formulae and adult
nutritional products within the concentrations typically used in such products. The precision of the
method is better than required in the SMPR, however spike recoveries are, in general, slightly below
the target range of 90‐110%. Nevertheless, the method is a significant improvement over current
solutions for the determination of GOS in lactose‐containing products.
