 <\/p>\n

Recommendation (EU) No 2015\/1381, published on 10 August 2015, calls for monitoring Arsenic levels in certain foodstuffs.<\/p>\n

Member States must analyse inorganic Arsenic and total Arsenic over 2016, 2017 and 2018 for the following matrices:
\n– Cereals and derived products
\n– Fruit and vegetable juices
\n– Drinking water (including bottled water)
\n– Coffee and tea
\n– Beer
\n– Fish and seafood
\n– Vegetables
\n– Seaweed-based products
\n– Dairy products
\n– Food for infants and young children
\n– Food supplements<\/p>\n

The data obtained will be sent to EFSA for compilation in a database, in order to assess the risks associated with inorganic Arsenic consumption.<\/p>\n

You can find the recommendation via the link below: Recommendation (EU) 2015\/1381<\/a><\/p>\n

Note also that, under Regulation (EU) 2015\/1006, from 1 January 2016 inorganic Arsenic will be regulated in rice and certain derived products, including rice intended for infant food production.<\/p>\n

You can find the regulation via the link below: Regulation (EU) 2015\/1006<\/a><\/p>\n

Please note that your Phytocontrol laboratory is COFRAC accredited for Arsenic speciation analysis. This method detects Arsenic in its most toxic form, namely inorganic Arsenic.
