AOAC SPSFAM Meeting Book 9-24

9/21/2017

Background on the veterinary drug residue method development project ▪ At the Mid-Year Meeting March 2017 – ▪ Nestlé had provided seed funding for a project to initiate the establishment of a working group to develop SMPRs on veterinary drugs in selected food ingredient and food matrices. ▪ If you are a method developer, the SMPRs will provide a standard for veterinary drug methods that can be used to develop methods for AOAC Expert Review Panels to use in evaluating candidate methods. ▪ If you are a food manufacturer or food distributor, you can participate in the development of standards for veterinary drug residue methods. These standards will then be used by method developers to develop methods, and by AOAC for method evaluation so that OMA adopted methods best meet your analytical needs.
