description | Inconsistent quantification results obtained from various analytical methods for food allergen testing hamper an accurate quantitative risk assessment and its regulatory implementation. In order to overcome such problems, a concept aiming at ensuring the comparability of quantitative food allergen measurement results is presented here. It is based on an approach called reference measurement system for food allergens, which uses a commonly agreed reference, namely the ‘mass fraction of total protein of the allergenic ingredient in food’. The necessary system components are outlined, consisting of a primary reference measurement method, a certified reference material and a reference laboratory. This metrology-based concept can be applied to quantify various food allergens determined with different analytical procedures. The example of 'milk in cookies' is used to demonstrate the approach. |
