Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
In this sample, the limit value for histamine of 200 mg/kg was exceeded with 252 mg/kg. In addition, an increased content of other biogenic amines (cadaverine, putrescine, tyramine) was detected. As a result, the food is to be classified as unsuitable for human consumption and is therefore considered unsafe according to Art. 14 Para. 2 lit. If the outer skin of the fish is also intended for consumption, it should also be tested for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as these can be formed during improper drying of fish and in some cases have carcinogenic properties.
