Translation of "aflatoxin content " (English → French) :

In these cases, the maximum levels for aflatoxins should be fixed taking into consideration the effectiveness of the above-mentioned treatments to reduce the aflatoxin content in groundnuts, nuts, dried fruit and maize to levels below the maximum limits fixed for those products intended for direct human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs.

In these cases, the maximum levels for aflatoxins should be fixed taking into consideration the effectiveness of the above-mentioned treatments to reduce the aflatoxin content in groundnuts, nuts, dried fruit and maize to levels below the maximum limits fixed for those products intended for direct human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs.

Article 8 enables Member States to use certain authorised detoxification procedures for contaminated feed materials (for example, active carbon filtration of fish oils to reduce dioxin content and treatment with ammoniac to break down aflatoxins).

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.

Whereas the aflatoxins group includes a number of compounds of varying toxicity and frequency in food; whereas aflatoxin B1 is by far the most toxic compound; whereas it is advisable, for safety reasons, to limit both the total aflatoxin content of food (compounds B1, B2, G1 and G2) and aflatoxin B1 content;

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;
