Methods
of Analysis and Sampling of Food Products
The 15th
Inter-Agency Meeting (IAM) of international organizations
working in the field of food product analysis and sampling
and associated quality assurance measures was held in Budapest,
Hungary, in November 2002. The aim of the IAM is to promote
cooperation among organizations working in this sector and
to support the needs of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
The IAM provides a unique opportunity for these organizations
to discuss common problems and to harmonize their approaches.
Among
the major subjects discussed at the meeting were the following:
- review
of actions taken by Codex in response to the results of
the 14th IAM meeting and other actions by Codex affecting
IAM
- discussion
of IAM’s role and involvement in issues relating to
quality assurance in food analysis
- effects
of proficiency testing
- the
AOAC project on developing an electronic compendium of analytical
methods
