Abstract
A collaborative study for quantification of Anisakis larvae in spiked farmed salmon fillets was conducted by 12 laboratories in 2012, using a modified Codex method (CODEX STAN 244). N = 6 samples with a different number of Anisakis larvae including two blind duplicates were analyzed by participants. All laboratories applied the same modified digestion method with stirring speed of 500–600 rpm, using a triangular stirring bar and a maximum digestion temperature of 35 °C in order to reduce fragmentation of larvae. All participants found correctly no larvae in the control samples while the mean recovery rate of all spiked larvae was 86.6 %. The among-laboratory reproducibility was 16.5 %. Differences were noticed in the interpretation of Anisakis fragments, which occurred as a result of prolonged frozen storage of the samples.
