Call for Volunteers: Working Group for Heavy Metals in Foods

About AOAC Working Group for Heavy Metals in Foods:

AOAC is seeking volunteer subject matter experts to serve on a newly established working group to review the applicability of current standard method performance requirements for heavy metals in foods in response to the lower regulatory limits worldwide. The project is proposed to operate at an accelerated pace to meet a timeline specified by stakeholders.

Objectives:

Review current relevant AOAC Standard Method Performance Requirements (SMPR)
Revise and/or develop SMPRs to reflect global changes in regulatory limits for heavy metals in defined matrices
Assess candidate methods through AOAC Expert Review Panel process for Official Methods of Analysis status
Recommendations to Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis for Sampling (CCMAS)

The Heavy Metals in Foods Project will be guided by an advisory panel (AP) of funding organizations to confirm priorities and working group objectives. This panel will meet quarterly to review progress and consider additional objectives.
