This document specifies a method [1] for the quantitative determination of saxitoxin (STX), decarbamoyl saxitoxin (dcSTX), neosaxitoxin (NEO), decarbamoyl neosaxitoxin (dcNEO), gonyautoxin 1 and 4 (GTX1,4; sum of isomers), gonyautoxin 2 and 3 (GTX2,3; sum of isomers), gonyautoxin 5 (GTX5), gonyautoxin 6 (GTX6), decarbamoyl gonyautoxin 2 and 3 (dcGTX2,3; sum of isomers), N-sulfocarbamoyl gonyautoxin 2 and 3 (C1,2; sum of isomers) and N-sulfocarbamoyl gonyautoxin 1 and 4 (C3,4; sum of isomers) in (raw) mussels, oysters, scallops and clams. Laboratory experience has shown that this document can also be applied to other marine invertebrates [2], [3] and processed products of those species, however, no complete interlaboratory validation study according to ISO 5725-2 [21] has been carried out so far. The method described was validated in an interlaboratory study [4], [5] and was also verified in a European Union Reference Laboratory for Marine Biotoxins (EURLMB)-performance test aiming the total toxicity of the samples [6]. Toxins which were not available in the first interlaboratory study [4], [5] as dcGTX2,3 and dcNEO were validated in two additional interlaboratory studies [7], [8]. The lowest validated levels [4], [5], [8], are given as mass fraction of toxin (free base) in µg/kg shellfish tissue and also as µmol/kg shellfish tissue and are listed in Table 1.
[Table 1 - Lowest validated levels]
A quantitative determination of GTX6 was not included in the first interlaboratory study but several laboratories detected this toxin directly after solid phase extraction with ion-exchange (SPE-COOH) clean-up and reported a mass fraction (free base) of 30 µg/kg or higher in certain samples. For that reason, the present method is applicable to quantify GTX6 directly, depending on the availability of the standard substance. Whenever GTX6 standard is not commercially available, it is possible to determine GTX6 after hydrolysis of Fraction 2 of the SPE-COOH clean-up, described in 7.4, as NEO. The indirect quantification of GTX6 was validated in two additional interlaboratory studies [7], [8]. A study to compare direct and indirect GTX6 quantification was conducted at the EURLMB [16].
A quantitative determination of C3,4 was included in the first interlaboratory study. The present method is applicable to quantify C3,4 directly, depending on the availability of the standard substance. If no standard substances are available, C3,4 can only be quantified as GTX1,4 if the same hydrolysis protocol used for GTX6 (7.4) is applied to Fraction 1 of the SPE-COOH clean-up [10]. A study to compare direct and indirect C3,4 quantification was conducted at the EURLMB [16].

This document specifies a method for the quantification of individual and/or all fatty acids content in the profile of milk, milk products, infant formula and adult nutritional formula, containing milk fat and/or vegetable oils, supplemented or not supplemented with oils rich in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). This also includes groups of fatty acids often labelled [i.e. trans fatty acids (TFA), saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids] and/or individual fatty acids [i.e. linoleic acid (LA), α-linolenic acid (ALA), arachidonic acid (ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)].
The determination is performed by direct transesterification in food matrices, without prior fat extraction, and consequently it is applicable to liquid samples or reconstituted powder samples with water having total fat ≥ 1,5 % (mass fraction).
The fat extracted from products containing less than 1,5 % (mass fraction) fat can be analysed with the same method after a preliminary fat extraction using methods referenced in Clause 2. Dairy products, such as soft or hard cheeses with acidity level ≤ 1 mmol/100 g of fat, can be analysed after a preliminary fat extraction using methods referenced in Clause 2.
For products supplemented or enriched with PUFA with fish oil or algae origins, the evaporation of solvents is performed at the lowest possible temperature (e.g. max. 40 °C) to recover these sensitive fatty acids.

The modified cry1Ab/Ac gene and the Pubi-cry construct are frequently found in genetically modified Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) plants. Both detection methods are based on real-time PCR and can be used for qualitative screening purposes. For identification and quantification of a specific genetically modified plant (event) a follow-up analysis has to be carried out. This document is applicable to the analysis of DNA extracted from foodstuffs. It can also be suitable for the analysis of DNA extracted from other products such as feedstuffs and seeds.

1.1 This document specifies a sampling method for a consignment of instant coffee, shipped in 10 package units or more. This document is applicable to cases which have inner linings of moisture-resistant material hermetically sealed because of the hygroscopic nature of instant coffee and which are in package units greater than 10 kg net mass, typically up to 50 kg. This document is also applicable to units of more than 50 kg, usually called “big bags” or “supersacks”. The cases are generally made of cardboard of appropriate strength and the big bags are made of suitable plastic material. 1.2 This document is also applicable to the selection and preparation of a sufficiently representative sample of the consignment, which is intended: a) to serve as a basis for an offer for sale; b) for examination to verify that the instant coffee to be offered for sale satisfies the producer’s sales specification; c) for examination to determine one or more of the characteristics of the instant coffee for technical, commercial, administrative and arbitration purposes; d) for retention as a reference sample for use, if required, in litigation. 1.3 This document is applicable to all types of instant coffee, as defined in ISO 3509, contained in all types of units with liners, with the exception stated in 1.4. 1.4 For bulk density and particle size, this document is applicable to spray-dried powder and freeze-dried instant coffees only, as defined in ISO 3509, due to the intrinsic fragility of particles of agglomerated instant coffee, which leads to greater breakdown and headspace in the final packed units for the consumer.
