Traduction de «teneur en aflatoxine » (Français → Anglais) :

Given the current discussions in Codex Alimentarius on the maximum levels for aflatoxins in Brazil nuts, it is appropriate to align the level for aflatoxins in Brazil nuts with the Codex level for almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios.

Based on that opinion, it is appropriate to limit the total aflatoxin content of food (sum of aflatoxins B, B, G and G) as well as the aflatoxin B content alone, aflatoxin B being by far the most toxic compound.

Based on that opinion, it is appropriate to limit the total aflatoxin content of food (sum of aflatoxins B, B, G and G) as well as the aflatoxin B content alone, aflatoxin B being by far the most toxic compound.

Based on that opinion, it is appropriate to limit the total aflatoxin content of food (sum of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2) as well as the aflatoxin B1 content alone, aflatoxin B1 being by far the most toxic compound.

While it is not possible to assess precisely quantitatively and with certainty to what extent this reduction can be achieved, it is evident from the data available that the different cleaning and processing steps are sufficiently effective in removing aflatoxins from maize products destined for human consumption whereby raw maize containing levels of aflatoxin B1 of 5 μg/kg and aflatoxin total of 10 μg/kg will result in maize products destined for human consumption complying with the maximum levels of aflatoxin B1 of 2 μg/kg and aflatoxin total of 4 μg/kg, providing a high level consumer protection.

Whereas it is recognised that the sorting or other physical treatment methods make it possible to reduce the aflatoxin content of the groundnuts, nuts and dried fruit; that in order to minimise the effects on trade, it is advisable consequently to admit higher aflatoxin contents for those products which are not intended for direct human consumption or as an ingredient in foodstuffs; that, in these cases, the maximum limits for aflatoxins were fixed by taking at the same time into consideration the known possible effects of the abovementioned treatments respectively for the groundnuts, the nuts and the dried fruit and the need to comply ...[+++] after treatment with the maximum limits fixed for these products intended for direct human consumption or to be used as an ingredient in foodstuffs. That according to the progress of scientific and technological knowledge, the limits for the raw nuts and dried fruit could be reconsidered within a defined period of time;
