BS EN 16923:2022 - A Comprehensive Guide for Ensuring Food Safety

Introducing the BS EN 16923:2022, a crucial standard for the determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products for infants and young children. This standard employs the SPE clean up and HPLC-MS/MS method, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability in toxin detection.

Product Details

The BS EN 16923:2022 is a comprehensive guide that spans over 30 pages, providing detailed instructions and methodologies for toxin detection in foodstuffs. Released on 2022-12-06, this standard is the latest in the field, incorporating the most recent advancements and research findings. The ISBN number for this standard is 978 0 539 13320 2.

Importance of BS EN 16923:2022

The presence of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products can pose serious health risks, especially to infants and young children. These toxins, produced by fungi, can contaminate crops and subsequently enter the food chain. The BS EN 16923:2022 standard provides a reliable method for their detection, helping to ensure food safety and protect public health.

Methodology

The BS EN 16923:2022 standard employs the SPE clean up and HPLC-MS/MS method for toxin detection. This involves the use of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) for sample clean-up, followed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for toxin quantification. This method offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Who Should Use BS EN 16923:2022?

This standard is essential for all stakeholders in the food industry, including food manufacturers, quality control laboratories, regulatory bodies, and research institutions. It provides a reliable method for toxin detection, helping to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and protect consumer health.

Status

The BS EN 16923:2022 is a current standard, meaning it is the most up-to-date version available. It supersedes all previous versions, incorporating the latest advancements in toxin detection methodology.

Conclusion

The BS EN 16923:2022 is a crucial tool in the fight against foodborne illnesses. By providing a reliable method for the detection of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products, it helps to ensure food safety and protect the health of infants and young children. With its comprehensive coverage and detailed instructions, it is an invaluable resource for all stakeholders in the food industry.

DESCRIPTION

BS EN 16923:2022

This standard BS EN 16923:2022 Foodstuffs. Determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products for infants and young children by SPE clean up and HPLC-MS/MS is classified in these ICS categories:

67.060 Cereals, pulses and derived products
67.230 Prepackaged and prepared foods

This document describes a method for the determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal-based products, e.g. oats, intended for nutrition of infants and young children by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) after cleanup by solid phase extraction (SPE) [5]. The method has been validated for HT-2 toxin in oat flour at levels of 9,3 µg/kg and 28,1 µg/kg, oat flakes at levels of 16,5 µg/kg and 21,4 µg/kg, and breakfast cereals (containing oat flakes) at a level of 8,1 µg/kg and for T-2 toxin in oat flour at levels of 4,4 µg/kg and 8,3 µg/kg, oat flakes at levels of 4,9 µg/kg and 6,6 µg/kg and breakfast cereals (containing oat flakes) at a level of 3,5 µg/kg. Laboratory experiences [6] have shown that the method is also applicable to highly swelling materials (dry cereal-based porridges and modified starches), but these were not examined in the method validation study. Details are outlined in 7.3. The method can also be applied to oat-by-products at higher levels of T-2- and HT-2 toxin. In this case, the dilution steps need to be considered [6]. The method can also be applied to cereals and cereal products for infants and young children based on e.g. wheat, barley and rice. In this case, the method needs to be in-house-validated for each material. At the time of the interlaboratory study, planned range was 10 µg/kg to 100 µg/kg, and it is known from the pre-study that the method works well in the whole range, although final validation was only done in the range from 3,5 µg/kg to 28,1 µg/kg.
