Consumers demand for processed food: Ready- to-eat, High in quality, Low in cost Consumers demand for imported seasonal products to be available all year- round Food is sourced globally and international trade is substantial A long food chain: tracking and control of quality and safety of raw materials requires reliable food analysis

A method’s performance is defined by a number of important individual characteristics.
Sensitivity Precision
- Repeatability. Reproducibility
Accuracy Limit of Detection (LoD) Limit of Determination Bias Selectivity Linear Range Dynamic range Ruggedness, Robustness
FBOs Government Academia LABS
How ?
- Involve all stakeholders: Government regulators, FBOs,
academia and private laboratories/Instrument to define the criteria to establish fit-for-purpose methods of analysis. Develop SMPRs, SLV, MLV, with identified Working Groups and Expert Review Panels
- Public-private partnership between Government regulators,
FBOs, academia and private laboratories/Instrument to provide technical assistance to scientists involved in food safety testing through education to develop best practice testing methodologies and deliver fit-for-purpose methods of
- analysis. To lead an inspiring training program that will
improve food safety laboratory testing
- Ready to use for Microbiology, food chemistry, and pesticide
residue , heavy metal testing etc. Can be used to address a nonconformance, additional method validation, internal purpose and also any regulatory dispute.
