Batch‐to‐batch analysis of BMAA and DAB in the NF

Parameter (unit)	Batch number					Analytical method
Parameter (unit)	#2	#16	#17	#3	#5	Analytical method
Free BMAA (μg/g)	< LOD ^(a)	< LOD ^(a)	< LOD ^(a)	< LOD ^(a)	<LOD ^(a)	HILIC‐MS/MS
Free DAB (μg/g)	< LOD ^(a)	< LOD ^(a)	< LOD ^(a)	< LOD ^(a)	0.41	HILIC‐MS/MS

NF: novel food; HILIC–MS/MS: hydrophilic interaction chromatography–tandem mass spectroscopy; BMAA: β‐N‐methylamino‐L‐alanine; DAB: 2,4‐diaminobutyric acid.
