Supporting document 1 Risk assessment – Proposal P1029 Maximum Level for Tutin in Honey
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Tutin is a plant-derived neurotoxin which is sometimes detected in New Zealand honey. Tutin contamination of honey occurs when bees gather honeydew from an insect that feeds on sap of the shrub Coriaria arborea (“tutu”). Consumption of tutu honeydew honey can result in serious acute adverse health effects. Temporary maximum levels (MLs) for tutin in honey and comb honey of 2 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively, currently exist in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (Standard 1.4.1 – Contaminants and Natural Toxicants).
