Cereulid in infant formula (quantification LC-MS/MS)

Cereulid is the cause of a recent recall of infant formula from the European market.

P2627-RT is designed for the quantification of cereulid in infant formula by LC-MS/MS based on methods like DIN EN ISO 18465:2017-05 or similar. LOQs of at least 1 µg/kg are required for participation.

The results are evaluated

with respect to the trueness criterion (70 to 120 % recovery of the spiked level), and
with respect to the comparability criterion (|z-score| ≤ 2).
