hazardObserved
Da der Anteil der Aprikosenkerne laut Kennzeichnung am Produkt 13% beträgt, kann auf Basis des nachgewiesenen Gehalts von 24,5 mg/kg abgeschätzt werden, dass der Gehalt an Blausäure in den zugesetzten Aprikosenkernen ursprünglich 189 ± 57 mg/kg betragen haben müsste.///Unofficial translation: Since the proportion of apricot kernels according to the product label is 13%, it can be estimated on the basis of the proven content of 24.5 mg/kg that the hydrocyanic acid content in the added apricot kernels must originally have been 189 ± 57 mg/kg.
