چکیده
Selected herbs and spices imported into Australia are treated with ethylene oxide (EtO) to control microbial contamination. Currently, three spices, namely paprika, pepper and cinnamon are routinely tested by AQIS for Salmonella. If the spices fail to meet the required standard, the importer must re-export or decontaminate the shipment – most chose to decontaminate the shipment with ethylene oxide. AQIS then test the spices for ethylene oxide residues according to the provisions of the Food Standards Code.
