At Bio-Check (UK) we are most interested in meat species adulteration - we use LGCs Standard meats/meat mixtures and are trying a FAPAS Halal round, but the positive sample just tested seems to have quite a high level of pork that is not analytically challenging. Our High Sensitivity Raw Pig ELISA detects significantly below 0.1% in unprocessed samples and I believe PCR can detect at or just below 0.1%?
Otherwise - and again depending on whether you include them in "authenticity" - we are interested in food allergens, cereal glutens, milk adulteration (dairy and non-dairy) and mycotoxin analysis. All except milk served in some fashion by FAPAS I believe.
