Foreword
This standard replaces GB 2761-2005 "Maximum Levels of Mycotoxins in Foods" and
maximum levels of mycotoxins in GB 2715-2005 "Hygienic Standard for Grains".
Compared with GB 2761-2005, the main changes of this standard are as follows.
— Modify standard name;
— Add definition of edible part;
— Add application principle;
— Add indices of ochratoxin a and zearalenone;
— Modify maximum-level indices of aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin M1, deoxynivalenol and
patulin;
— Modify testing method of aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin M1 and deoxynivalenol;
— Add Appendix A.
National Food Safety Standard
Maximum Levels of Mycotoxins in Foods
1 Scope
This standard specifies maximum-level indices of aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin M1,
deoxynivalenol, patulin, ochratoxin A and zearalenone in foods.
2 Terms and Definitions
2.1 Mycotoxin
Secondary toxic metabolites generated in growing and reproductive process of
fungus.
2.2 Edible part
Edible part obtained after the non-edible part is removed through mechanical means
(such as grinding of grain, scalping of fruit, shelling of nuts, boning of meat, boning of
fish and shelling of shellfish) from raw food material.
Note 1. Removal of non-edible part shall not adopt any non-mechanical means (e.g. refining
process of rough vegetable oil).
Note 2. Amount of edible part may vary with the production process when the different
products are produced by the same raw food material. When oatmeal and whole wheat flour
are made of wheat, the edible part is calculated as 100%; when processing the wheaten flour,
the edible part is converted based on the flour yields.
2.3 Limit
Maximum allowable content of mycotoxin in edible part of food raw material and/or
food product.
3 Application Principle
3.1 No matter whether maximum level of mycotoxins is formulated, the producer
and processor of the food shall take control measures to minimize the mycotoxin
content in foods.
