It is formed during the drying and storage of agricultural products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our webinar on mycotoxins on 22 April 2021, we presented a draft regulation that provided for the modification and implementation of maximum levels of Ochratoxin A in foodstuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new regulation has just been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg\/2022\/1370\/oj\">Regulation (EU) No 2022\/1370<\/a> amending Regulation (EC) No 1881\/2006 as regards maximum levels for ochratoxin A in certain foodstuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximum levels for ochratoxin A have already been set for certain foodstuffs in Regulation (EC) No 1881\/2006 but it has been detected in foodstuffs for which no maximum level has yet been set and which contribute to human exposure to ochratoxin A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new regulation therefore introduces new limits on the following foodstuffs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00a0Bakery products, cereal snacks and breakfast cereals with specific limits for products containing oil seeds, dried fruits and nuts.<\/li><li>Malt-based soft drinks<\/li><li>Dried fruit other than sultanas<\/li><li>Date syrup<\/li><li>Liquorice-based confectionery<\/li><li>Dried herbs<\/li><li>Ginger, marshmallow, dandelion and orange blossom roots for use in infusions or coffee substitutes<\/li><li>Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, watermelon and melon seeds, hemp seeds, soya beans.<\/li><li>Pistachios<\/li><li>Cocoa powder<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, some limits have been lowered on products that were already regulated. This is the case for :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00a0Bakery products (from 3 to 2\u00b5g\/kg for products not containing oilseeds, dried fruits and nuts)<\/li><li>Sultanas (from 10 to 8\u00b5g\/kg)<\/li><li>Roasted coffee (from 5 to 3\u00b5g\/kg)<\/li><li>Soluble coffee (from 10 to 5\u00b5g\/kg)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It should also be noted that the OTA limit applicable to certain spices has been extended to all spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new text will be <strong>applicable <\/strong>from <strong>1 January 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult the regulation at the attached link: <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg\/2022\/1370\/oj\">Regulation (EU) N\u00b02022\/1370<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that your Phytocontrol laboratory offers mycotoxin analysis under COFRAC accreditation, you can consult our COFRAC technical annex N\u00b01-1904 available in your customer area or on the COFRAC website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need technical, regulatory and pricing information?
