Report of an Interlaboratory Comparison from the European Reference Laboratory for Food Contact Materials: ILC001-2013 – Proficiency Testing on Food Simulant E containing a cocktail of potential migrant substances
Food simulant E, also commercially named Tenax®, was established in Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 for testing specific migration into dry foodstuffs. This presents the results of an an Interlaboratory Comparison organised as Proficiency Testing on Food Simulant E containing a cocktail of potential migrant substances. The object of the ILC was to 1) expand the range of polarity and volatility of substance under the scope of the exercise; 2) test the ability of laboratories in the identification and quantification of substances with a free choice of any analytical method and 3) include the screening of unknown substances. The test material used in this exercise was a spiked food simulant E prepared by the EURL-FCM.The choice of the substances was based on the relevant scientific literature related to migration from food contact materials (plastic and paperboard) into simulant E.The participation of the laboratories on this PT on the identification and quantification of ACPH, BP, CAP, DEHA, DTBP, ETHX and OCT in the simulant E was satisfactory regarding the number of received results and thanks to the proactive involvement of the NRLs.
