Remarks Allergen-PTs (qualitative / quantitative) - Accredited Program ISO/IEC 17043 - Test items: 6 different samples (20 g each) Methods: All suitable methods can be applied, e.g. ELISA, LFD, PCR, LC-MS. Procedure: For the Action Level Matrix Verification Test (ALM) a set of 6 samples with specified contents of hazelnut including a „blank sample“ is provided for determination in the matrix of dark chocolate. The allergen level of the middle sample (appr. 5 mg/kg) corresponds to the Action Level 1 (VITAL concept 3.0) and judgement value of the German Commission ALTS/ALS, respectively. The 6 PT samples are blind-encoded, so that the contents are not recognizable by the sample labeling. Evaluation: The evaluation is carried out qualitatively (positive/negative) in scores of 1-5 (for example score 3 = Action Level successfully identified). Quantitative results will be reported for information by its recovery rates. From 5 quantitative results on, one level will be evaluated by z-scores for information.
