COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 856/2005,of 6 June 2005,amending Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 as regards Fusarium toxins,(Text with EEA relevance),THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European,Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8,February 1993 laying down Community procedures for,contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3),thereof,Whereas:,(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 (2) provides,for maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs.,(2) Certain Member States have adopted or plan to adopt,maximum levels for Fusarium toxins, such as deoxynivalenol,(DON), zearalenone (ZEA) and fumonisins in,certain foodstuffs. In view of the disparities between,the level authorised in Member States and the consequent,risk of distortion of competition, Community measures,are necessary in order to ensure market unity while,complying with the principle of proportionality.,(3) A variety of Fusarium fungi, which are common soil,fungi, produce a number of different mycotoxins of the,class of trichothecenes such as deoxynivalenol (DON),nivalenol (NIV), T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin and some,other toxins (zearalenone and fumonisins). The Fusarium,fungi are commonly found on cereals grown in the,temperate regions of America, Europe and Asia. Several,of the toxin producing Fusarium fungi are capable of,producing to a variable degree two or more of these,toxins.,(4) The Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) has evaluated in,a set of opinions the Fusarium toxins: deoxynivalenol,(DON) in December 1999, zearalenone in June 2000,fumonisins in October 2000, updated in April 2003,nivalenol in October 2000 and T-2 and HT-2 toxin in,May 2001 and a group evaluation of the trichothecenes,in February 2002.,(5) The SCF considered that the available data did not,support the establishing of group Tolerable Daily Intake,(TDI) for the evaluated trichothecenes and established,— a TDI of 1 μg/kg body weight/day for deoxynivalenol,(DON),— a temporary TDI (t-TDI) of 0,7 μg/kg body,weight/day for nivalenol,— a combined temporary TDI of 0,06 μg/kg body,weight/day for T-2 and HT-2 toxin.,For the other Fusarium toxins the SCF established,— a temporary TDI (t-TDI) of 0,2 μg/kg body,weight/day for zearalenone,— a TDI of 2 μg/kg bodyweight/day for the total of,fumonisin B1, B2 and B3, alone or in combination.,(6) In the framework of Council Directive 93/5/EEC of 25,February 1993 on assistance to the Commission and,cooperation by the Member States in the scientific examination,of questions relating to food (3), a scientific cooperation,(SCOOP) task 3.2.10 ‘Collection of occurrence,data on Fusarium toxins in food and assessment of,dietary intake by the population of EU Member,States’ (4) was performed and finalised in September,2003.,The results of that task demonstrate that Fusarium mycotoxins,are widely distributed in the food chain in the,Community. The major sources of dietary intake of,Fusarium toxins are products made from cereals, in,particular wheat and corn. While the dietary intakes of,Fusarium toxins for the entire population and adults are,often less than the TDI’s for the respective toxin, for risk,groups like infants and young children, they are close or,even exceed the TDI in some cases.,7.6.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 143/3,(1) OJ L 37, 13.2.1993, p. 1. Regulation as amended by Regulation (EC),No 1882/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council,(OJ L 284, 31.10.2003, p. 1).,(2) OJ L 77, 16.3.2001, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation,(EC) 208/2005 (OJ L 34, 8.2.2005, p. 3).,(3) OJ L 52, 4.3.1993, p. 18. Directive as amended by Regulation (EC),No 1882/2003.,(4) Report available on the website of the European Commission, DG,Health and Consumer Protection,(http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs/scoop/task3210.pdf).,(7) In particular for deoxynivalenol, the dietary intake for the,group of young children and adolescents is close to the,TDI. For T-2 and HT-2 toxin, the estimated dietary intake,exceeded in most of the cases the t-TDI. However, it has,to be noted that for T-2 and HT-2 toxin most occurrence,data were obtained by making use of methods of analysis,with a high limit of detection and taking into consideration,that the amount of samples above the limit of,detection was lower than 20 %, the dietary intake was,strongly influenced by the limit of detection of the used,analytical methods. For nivalenol all intakes were far,below the t-TDI. As regards the other trichothecenes,considered in the abovementioned SCOOP-Task, such,as 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol,fusarenon……
