Maximum levels for the mycotoxins T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in Regulation (EU) 2023/915

In July 2024, Regulation (EU) 2024/1038 amending Regulation (EU) 2023/915 (EU Contaminants Maximum Levels Regulation) regarding the maximum levels for T-2 and HT-2 toxins in food came into force.

Prior to this, there were only guideline values within the framework of Recommendation 2013/165/EU on the presence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in cereals and cereal products.

Maximum levels were now established for the following food groups:

• Unprocessed cereal grains
• Cereal products for the end consumer
• Milled grain products
• Bakery products, pasta, cereal snacks and breakfast cereals
• Infant formula and cereal-based foods for infants and toddlers

Food for special medical purposes for infants and toddlers
The maximum levels for T-2 / HT-2 toxins have been in effect since July 1, 2024.
