Milestones
M2.1 All data-gathering labs fully prepared with necessary materials and SOPs (M3) Method development and validation extended to March
2009 (M11) M2.2 All data gathered from the production phase
of three food supply chains (M15) Sampling immediately after audit visits (M12- ) Analyses susequently after sampling (M12- )
