Uncertainty assessment for mycotoxins in food. The example of the metrological approach
Abstract
Over the last ten years, the role on measurement uncertainty has been embraced in those sectors where, traditionally, metrology has strived to assert the concept and its applications. Mycotoxins analysis constitutes an example where not many reference guidance are available, thus experts are working to assess, verify and control uncertainty budget coming from the application of their methods. Possible approaches to be used are top down (metrological) or bottom up (holistic approach from the availability of reproducibility data). Examples on how these two approaches may be used in the mycotoxin field will be scrutinized. Moreover, the critical role of the measurement uncertainty in the compliance assessment and decision making in the context of official control will be taken into consideration.
