SPSFAM Allergen Working Group
Standard Method Performance Requirements (SMPR) for Detection and Quantitation of Selected Allergens
This group worked diligently between the annual meeting in 2015 until the mid‐year meeting to identify critical needs for allergen detection methods using mass spec technology. This group is diverse in perspective, encompassing representation from regulators, food companies, industry and international organizations. They have set a precedent for future working groups to establish acceptance criteria for assays that detect allergens using highly sensitive and robust technologies
