Abstract
Results from a collaborative study of a method for the determination of 9 elements in infant formula, using inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, are reported. Six collaborators analyzed 6 infant formulas for native and spiked levels of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K, Na, and Zn. The within-laboratory and between-laboratory coefficients of variation were generally (69 of 108 samples) below 9% for all elements determined in all samples. Most of the average recoveries of the elements from spiked samples ranged from 90 to 105%. The method has been adopted official first action for determining Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K, Na, and Zn in infant formula.
