Determination of GM Maize in Bakery Mix (T1) and GM Oilseed Rape in Rapeseed Meal (T2)
GMFF-22/01 Proficiency Test Report
The European Union Reference Laboratory for Genetically Modified Food and Feed (EURL GMFF) organised the proficiency test (PT) “GMFF-22/01” for the determination of GMOs in food or feed products to support the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 [1].
Sixty-three laboratories participated to the PT round, consisting of 53 NRLs from 24 EU Member States, 5 EU OCLs and 5 official testing laboratories from EU-neighbouring countries.
All but one of the 63 laboratories tested T1 for the presence of GMOs and, as expected for a blank material, none of the laboratories reported the presence of a GM event. For T2, all laboratories except two NRLs and one OCL (95 %) detected both MS8 and RF3.
Among the 63 participants having registered for this PT round, 9 did not report any results, while 7 reported truncated values (less or greater than). The vast majority (over 80 %) of the other laboratories proved their satisfactory performance (expressed as z or z’ score) for the analysis of MS8 and RF3 in rapeseed meal.
The evaluation of this PT round confirms that most NRLs and OCLs are able to monitor mass fractions of GMOs in rapeseed meal in the frame of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
