• Microwave Induced Combustion (MIC) followed by F-ISE or IC - Applied for halogens in infant formula (mainly Br and I) - Methods for fluoride in other food matrices (spices, plants) • Automatic standard addition/F-ISE • Specific extraction/Dialysis/Microwave digestion and IC - Specific supplier IC equipment (e.g. in line dialysis, in line SPE) • GF-MAS - Specific supplier equipment (Babyfood)

• New promising methods (but not yet applied for IF) that potentially could meet current SMPR are mainly based on: - Microwave digestion and F-ISE or spectrophotometry detection - Derivatization and GC-FID/MS • Codex requirement : F content < 100μg/100 kcal (< 65μg/100g* reconstituted IF ) BUT AUS-NZ has one specific requirement: claims needed for 50 μg/100 g in powder (corresponding to current LOQ=5 μg/100 g in SMPR) • Proposal for next step : 1. If only Codex standard maximum limit* is followed: revise SMPR with higher LOQ (e.g. 50-65 μg/100g) 2. If SMPR is maintained: reopen call for methods to evaluate new methods using ISE, IC or GC with specific sample preparation (Microwave digestion, specific buffer extraction 14 September 2016
