ND: not detectable. aAfter desorption, the solution was diluted fivefold with the mobile phase because the contents of Sudan II in spiked snack sample 3 were outside the linear range. bAfter desorption, the solution was diluted 10-fold with the mobile phase because the contents of Sudan I and Sudan II in spiked snack sample 5 were outside the linear range.
