Food preparation, composite formation, and chemical analysis

Objectives

  • Ensure food preparation methods reflect consumer practice since this can influence contaminant levels
  • Ensure composite formation and storage maintains the integrity of food samples
  • Establish requirements and capabilities of analytical methods to perform adequately at low concentrations expected for diluted composites
  • Evaluate the impact of analytical method performance (measurement uncertainty) on uncertainties in the final exposure assessment using TDS samples
