Detection and Quantitation of Selected Food Allergens by Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry: First Action 2017.17.

Background: In response to a need for accurate and reliable methods for food allergen regulatory compliance, a method for the detection and quantitation of whole egg, whole milk, peanut, and hazelnut in eight food matrices was developed and evaluated in a single-laboratory validation. The matrices include cookies, cookie dough, bread, breakfast cereal, salad dressing, ice cream, and red wine.
