To review a SOP.

• Irene Mattisson
• Swedish National Food Administration

2
To review a SOP.

• Aim with presentation- to give some thoughts
  and experiences as a background for a discussion
  on SOPs.

3
Expectations.

• ad 5. Description of the procedure, including
  references and appendices (from Guidelines on
  how to write a EuroFIR SOP )
• In this chapter the work done is described in as
  much detail as necessary. The description should
  be well structured, concise, complete and
  unambiguous. It should give detailed instructions
  on how to perform the work in a consistent and
  repeatable fashion. The description may be useful
  for training however, is not intended to replace
  it.

To review a SOP.

• My approach in reviewing started purely from my
  own, short experiences with the NFA database and
  the Swedish Food System.
• Continued with discussing the SOP with my
  colleagues and consulted EuroFIR technical
  website.

5
Experiences from NFA

• Samples and sample sizeHow to prepare samples
  for analysis?How many samples? How to choose on
  the shelf? How to cook? Should we cook or
  analyse raw?Where to find information on market
  shares etc.? When do we have enough information
  for decision making on products?Etc. etc.

6
Experiences from NFA

• Selecting algorithms What problems are we facing
  with different calculations?How to choose factor
  (FA, NE, protein) for mixed products?Fatty acids
  - demands on the protocol from the analyses to be
  able to calculate FA-composition.How can we
  handle old data with lacking information on
  differentiation of fatty acids? Carbohydrates -
  calculated by difference? Summation of analyses?

The Perfect SOP

• How to .
• Focus on the tasks of compilers
• References

How to

• Commitment from compilers
• Discussions among compilers
• Continue the good work that has started. We have
  achieved a lot but there is still more to do!
