## Abstract

Discipline B: Chemistry 
Analytical Track 2: Human Food Product Testing 
The NH PHL plans to improve food testing surveillance programs in New Hampshire through the 
chemical analysis of food products. The test results generated by these analyses can be used to 
remove adulterated food from commerce and aide regulatory inspection programs in the New 
Hampshire Bureau of Food Protection in conducting investigations. 
The NH PHL plans to perform toxic metals analyses by ICP-MS analysis following CHE.0009, to 
ensure compliance with toxic element action levels. The following commodity/hazard pairs will be 
analyzed; 
Commodity Hazard 
Class II Dairy Products Total Arsenic 
Apple juice, ciders, imported spices Toxic elements 
The NH PHL will analyze a minimum of 210 Class II Dairy Products, ensuring a complete study 
of this local commodity that is transported across state lines. The additional 50+ samples of local 
and imported spices, juices and ciders and other FDA regulated commodities will assist both the 
local communities and the FDA when combined with data from other testing sites to ensure quality 
and safety in the food products originating in the State of New Hampshire. 
NH PHL will participate and pass annual proficiency tests, attend the LFFM Face-to-Face meeting 
and monthly Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) calls, maintain ISO 17025 
accreditation of CHE.0009, maintain facilities and personnel necessary to complete the work 
proposed, and provide a detailed quarterly summary of all samples collected and analyzed. The 
NH PHL will maintain a valid 20.88 agreement with the FDA. Sampling will be conducted by the 
NH Bureau of Food Protection, the official agency overseeing dairy farms and plants in the State 
of New Hampshire, following standard FDA-approved practices.
