The results of an intercomparison study for the analysis of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) in a contaminated maize material (Maize B, containing approximately 2 micrograms/g FB1 and 1 micrograms/g FB2) and its 'blank' counterpart (Maize A, containing less than 20 ng/g FB1 and FB2) are reported. Maize materials were distributed in 60 g sachets, submitted to gamma-irradiation at 15 kGy, and distributed to participating laboratories. The study was carried out by 24 European laboratories, most of which have national or international responsibilities for food/feed quality control. Participants used basically one method with some modifications, based on clean-up through SAX minicolumn and reversed phase HPLC with fluorescence detection of the OPA-fumonisin derivatives. The intercomparison study generated data (after correction for recoveries) with repeatability and reproducibility levels of: RSDr = 10% and RSDR = 11% for FB1; RSDr = 11% and RSDR = 13% for FB2. The recoveries obtained by most participants were considered low (70% for FB1 and 69% for FB2), being considerably affected by the extraction mode. Average recoveries for laboratories using blending were 62% and 60%, whereas for laboratories using shaking they were 85% and 86% for FB1 and FB2, respectively. The day-to-day data showed a between-day, within-laboratory repeatability lower than 15% (CV < 15%) for FB1 for all laboratories, whereas only three laboratories obtained a between-day, within-laboratory reproducibility higher than 15% (CV > 15%) for FB2.
