AOCS Method Cd 29c-13,  “2- and 3-MCPD Fatty Acid Esters and Glycidol Fatty Acid Esters in Edible Oils and Fats by GC/MS<br/>(Difference Method)”, is widely used in industry because of its rapid analysis time and ability to be automated. Proposed MCPD and glycidol limits in infant formula are far lower than those proposed for oil consumed by adults.  The current presentation centers on questions of whether indirect GCMS methods are sufficiently sensitive for analysis of oils intended for or extracted from infant formula, especially AOCS Cd 29c-13, and discusses some of the challenges to achieving very low limits of detection with indirect GCMS methods
