Monitoring Recommendation 2013\/165\/EU<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe new Draft Regulation now sets maximum levels for the sum of T-2 and HT-2 toxin for the following food groups:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Unprocessed cereal grains, different maximum levels depending on the type of cereal<\/li>\n
- Cereal products for the final consumer, different maximum levels depending on the type of cereal<\/li>\n
- Milled cereal products, different maximum levels depending on the type of cereal<\/li>\n
- Bakery wares, pasta, cereal snacks and breakfast cereals<\/li>\n
- Baby food and processed cereal-based food for infants and young children<\/li>\n
- Food for special medical purposes intended for infants and young children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The sum of T-2 and HT-2 toxin is to be given as \u201dlower bound\u201d calculation. This means that results below the limit of quantification for a toxin are included in the sum parameter with \u201czero\u201d.<\/p>\n
The maximum levels for T-2\/HT-2 toxin will apply from 1\u00a0July 2024. Products that are legally placed on the market before this date can remain on the market until their date of minimum durability or use-by-date. The levels of T-2\/HT-2 toxin in oat and oat products will continue to be monitored and data will be submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).<\/p>\n
Fusarium toxins deoxynivalenol and T-2\/HT-2 toxin \u2013 occurrence and toxicity<\/strong><\/p>\nFusarium toxins are mycotoxins mainly produced by fungi of the Fusarium genus as secondary metabolites. As natural soil fungi, fusaria decompose plant residues. However, many of these Fusarium species are also plant parasites and develop numerous different mycotoxins, summarised under the term Fusarium toxins. The most important Fusarium toxin representatives are T-2 and HT-2 toxin (A-trichothecenes), deoxynivalenol, acetyldeoxynivalenol, nivalenol and fusarenone X (B-trichothecenes) as well as zearalenone and fumonisins.<\/p>\n
Fusarium spp. infect especially cereals like wheat, corn, oat and barley. Severe loss of harvest and a mycotoxin contamination can be the result. The degree of mycotoxin development and infestation depends on various factors such as humidity, temperature, the course of the growing season, soil cultivation and the vulnerability of the given species.<\/p>\n
For\u00a0deoxynivalenol and its acetylated and modified derivatives<\/strong>\u00a0(3- and 15-acetyl-DON and DON-3-glucoside), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) established a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 1 \u00b5g\/kg bw per day in 2017. In addition, an acute group reference dose (Group ArfD) of 8 \u00b5g\/kg bw per meal was set. While acute exposure was below this established dose, chronic exposure of babies, children and adults was found to pose a health risk. The new and adjusted maximum levels again refer only to DON, as too little data is available for the DON derivatives and these have not yet been analysed in routine practice.<\/p>\nFor\u00a0T-2\/HT-2 toxin<\/strong>, EFSA already set a total TDI of 0.1 \u00b5g\/kg bw in 2011, which was revised to 0.02 \u00b5g\/kg bw in 2017. In addition, an acute group ARfD of 0.3 \u00b5g\/kg bw was established in 2017. As with DON and its derivatives, acute exposure to T-2\/HT-2 toxin was found to be below the established dose, but chronic exposure was considered to pose a potential health risk to babies, children and adults.<\/p>\nAnalysis of deoxynivalenol and T-2\/HT-2 toxin at VNYA<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
VNYA, in collaboration with experts from the Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, has many years of experience in analyzing toxins that pose a threat to human and animal health, such as mycotoxins, antibiotics, and heavy metals. We have multiple solutions for the detection and control of vomitoxin and T-2\/HT-2 toxin, with a fully automated detection system that makes it easier and more reassuring for lab toxin testers, food and feed manufacturers!<\/p>\n
