RASFF

Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
///unofficial translation: orientation value for MOAH is exceeded by the sample; Due to the large number of possible MOAH compounds and unmanageable entry routes, which contribute to the diversification of MOAH compounds, a conclusive toxicological evaluation of this class of compounds is currently not possible. It is also not possible to derive limit values for substances suspected of causing cancer, up to which a foodstuff is harmless and therefore safe. Against this background and because the consumer bears the sole risk of MOAH suspected of causing cancer, the BfR therefore calls for the greatest possible minimization for this fraction.
