RASFF

Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
ETO is considered toxic and mutagenic and therefore there is no safe level. Therefore, zero tolerance for ethylene oxide and a systematic withdrawal of finished products in which a raw material exceeding the MRL for ETO has been used should be applied.
