Foodstuffs - Minimum performance requirements for quantitative measurement of the food allergens milk, egg, peanut, hazelnut, almond, walnut, cashew, pecan nut, brazil nut, pistachio nut, macadamia nut, wheat, lupine, sesame, mustard, soy, celery, fish, molluscs and crustaceans; German version EN 17855:2024
Abstract
This document specifies minimum performance requirements for methods that quantify the following food allergens in raw and processed foodstuffs: milk, egg, peanut, hazelnut, almond, brazil nut, macadamia nut, cashew, pistachio nut, walnut, pecan nut, lupine, sesame, mustard, soy, celery, fish, molluscs, crustaceans, and wheat. The minimum requirements for for the Limit of Quantification (LOQ), presented in this document, are derived from the reference doses (RfD) and VITAL eliciting dose (ED05) published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations. Annex A provides specific information for quantitative antibody-based methods, which should be supplied by the method developers. In addition, it provides guidance on how performance characteristics should be determined in the form of a validation study. The principles described in this document equally apply to PCR and LC-MS/MS methods. More information on performance characteristics is available in EN 15634 1 [5] and EN 17644 [6]. Methods that describe gluten-containing cereals (wheat, rye, and barley) with regard to coeliac disease are covered by EN 17254 [1]. This document does not apply to fragmented or hydrolysed food allergens, such as casein hydrolysates or soy sauce. It also does not apply to qualitative methods.
