Analysis of Toxicologically Critical SRM Compounds in Infant Formulae and Milk – Analytical Methods (updated)
A method was developed allowing the analysis of compounds of high toxicity (low ADI-values), for which the default MRL for infant formulae of 0.01 mg/kg is not considered safe for children up to 16 weeks of age.
The EURL-SRM focused on compounds not amenable to multiresidue methods. Spiking levels for validation were chosen not to exceed the levels below which future MRLs for infant formulae should be set for being safe. The following compounds were included in the study:
Analyzed by QuEChERS and LC-MS/MS:
- Abamectin, Emamectin, Diclofop, Haloxyfop, Gamma-Cyhalothrin, 3-Hydroxycarbofuran and Fentin.
Analyzed by QuPPe and LC-MS/MS:
- Amitrole, Nicotine, PTU, Diquat and Topramezone.
The Report was updated in April 2021 to additionally include information on measurement in milk and the on the analysis of the following additional compounds:
- Ethoxyquin-Dimer, Trifluoracetic acid, Chlorate, Perchlorate, Phosphonic acid, Triazole-acetic acid, Triazole-lactic acid, Triazole-alanine, Paraquat, Melamine and Cyanuric acid.
