COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
of 17 August 2006
on the presence of deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, ochratoxin A, T-2 and HT-2 and fumonisins in products intended for animal feeding
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/576/EC)
|
1. |
Member States should, with the active involvement of feed business operators, increase monitoring for the presence of deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, ochratoxin A and fumonisin B1 + B2, T-2 and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products intended for animal feeding and compound feedingstuffs. |
|
2. |
Member States should ensure that samples are simultaneously analysed for the presence of deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, ochratoxin A, fumonisin B1 + B2 and T-2 and HT-2 toxin to allow the extent of co-occurrence to be assessed. |
|
3. |
Member States should pay particular attention to the presence of those mycotoxins in by- or co-products from the production of food intended for animal feeding. |
|
4. |
Member States should ensure that the analytical results are provided on a regular basis to the Commission for compilation into a single database. |
|
5. |
Member States should ensure that the guidance values, as set out in the Annex, are applied for judging the acceptability of compound feed and cereal and cereal products for animal feeding. As regards fumonisin B1 + B2, Member States should apply these guidance values from 1 October 2007. |
|
6. |
Member States should ensure, in particular, that feed business operators use in their Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system ( 1 ) the guidance values referred to in point 5 to determine the critical limits at critical control points which separate acceptability from unacceptability, for the prevention, elimination or reduction of identified hazards. |
In applying these guidance values, Member States should take into account the fact that the guidance values for cereals and cereal products have been determined for the most tolerant animal species and are therefore to be considered as upper guidance values.
For feed for more sensitive animals, Member States should ensure that lower guidance values for cereals and cereal products are applied by feed manufacturers taking into account the sensitivity of the animal species and enabling compliance with the guidance values determined for compound feedingstuffs for these animal species.

(*1)
Particular attention has to be paid to cereals and cereals products fed directly to the animals that their use in a daily ration should not lead to the animal being exposed to a higher level of these mycotoxins than the corresponding levels of exposure where only the complete feedingstuffs are used in a daily ration.
(*2)
The term ‘Cereals and cereal products’ includes not only the feed materials listed under heading 1 ‘Cereal grains and products derived thereof’ of the list of feed materials referred to in part C of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 68/2013 of 16 January 2013 on the Catalogue of feed materials (OJ L 29, 30.1.2013, p. 1) but also other feed materials derived from cereals in particular cereal forages and roughages.
(*3)
The term ‘Maize and maize products’ includes not only the feed materials listed under heading 1 ‘Cereal grains and products derived thereof’ of the list of feed materials referred to in part C of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 68/2013 but also other feed materials derived from maize in particular maize forages and roughages. |
