Comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry has been on the separation‐science scene for about 15 years. This three‐dimensional method has made a great positive impact on various fields of research, and among these that related to food analysis is certainly at the forefront. The present critical review is based on the use of comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry in the untargeted (general qualitative profiling and fingerprinting) and targeted analysis of food volatiles; attention is focused not only on its potential in such applications, but also on how recent advances in comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry will potentially be important for food analysis. Additionally, emphasis is devoted to the many instances in which straightforward gas chromatography with mass spectrometry is a sufficiently‐powerful analytical tool. Finally, possible future scenarios in the comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry food analysis field are discussed.
