12Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

JECFA and EFSA: hazard assessment

13Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

JECFA: Fusarium toxin evaluations in food

• JECFA: FAO/WHOJoint Expert Committeeon Food Additives

• Hazard identification and characterization: TDI values

• Fusarium toxins evaluated: - zearalenone (2000) - DON (2001) - T-2 and HT-2 toxins (2001) - fumonisins B1, B2 & B3 (2001)

14Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

EFSA: Fusarium toxin evaluations in feed

• Scientific panel : Contaminants in the Food and Feed Chain• W.G. undesirable substances in animal feed - mycotoxins• Tasks: preparing scientific opinions (assessments) on a.o.

ZEA, DON, FUM in feed (all published).• Contents of scientific opinions: introduction, analysis,

legislation, occurrence, intake, effects, kinetics, metabolism, carry-over, human dietary exposure

• Data used in decision-making process of setting guideline limits

Factors influencing mycotoxin regulations

• Availability of toxicological data• Availability of survey analytical data• Availability of methods of sampling and analysis

18Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

• Committed to the development and validation of methods of sampling and analysis, and improvementof analytical quality assurance

• “Committee on Natural Toxins and Food Allergens”deals with mycotoxins

• “Official Methods of Analysis ” for Fusarium toxins -DON: 1 TLC method and 1 GC method

- ZEA : 2 TLC methods & 1 ELISA - Fumonisins: 2 LC methods & 1 ELISA

19Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

• Standardization of methods for mycotoxin determination• Performance criteria approach, usually based on interlaboratory

validation studies• Most methods also approved by AOAC International• 2 LC methods for FUM in maize & maize-based foods• In progress: methods for DON & ZEA in grain cereals, baby food

and animal feed• To come: methods for FUM in baby food and animal feed• Later to come: review and update performance criteria

Worldbank Report 2001

“Global trade and food safety: winners and loosers in a fragmented system” (Wilson and Otsuki, 2001)

- Estimations made on the relationship of aflatoxin B1 regulatory standards and trade flow

- Scenario studies for cereals and nuts predictsignificant losses for exporting countries (Africa) ifstringent standards are adopted

26Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

Worldbank Report 2005

“Food Safety and Agricultural Health Standards, Challenges and Opportunities for Developing Country Exports” (Worldbank, 2005)

- Actual experience: much different than projected; e.g. African share of EU market for dried fruit increased!

- Border rejections irritating to exporters, but someproducing countries got an increase of their EU market share

Results of the 2002/2003 inquiry

• Responses received from approx. 90 countries+ info from previous inquiries

• # of countries with known regulations formycotoxins in food and feed: approx.100 (90 % of world’s inhabitants)

• Significant increase of specific regulations forvarious Fusarium toxins, in particularDON, zearalenone, T-2 toxin and fumonisins

• EU food limits discussed for T-2/HT-2 toxins

• EU feed guidance values exist for some Fusarium mycotoxins

52Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

European research and networking projects

MONIQAMONIQA

• IP Food Quality & Safety, 2005-2009• New biotech-based methods:

e.g. transcriptomics & sensors• Includes WP on trichothecenes

• NoE Food Quality & Safety, 2007-2011• Focus on harmonization of methods

to monitor food hazards as mycotoxins• Includes evaluation of economic impact

of new regulatory methods

53Fusarium toxin regulations, Van Egmond and Jonker, Beijing 2006

RASFF in the EU

• Quick information-exchange in the EU on risks to human health

• Allows MS to identify potential problems and take measures

• In 2005: 993mycotoxin issues

• Establish standardized mycotoxin methods to enable compliance withEU legislation in a harmonised way

• Methods for DON, zearalenone and fumonisins in various specified foods

• Review performance criteria for methods of analysis of mycotoxins

Summary

• Various factors influence mycotoxin regulations• Mycotoxin regulations exist in approx. 100 countries and

include various Fusarium toxins• Harmonization takes place, yet regulatory limits remain

substantially different across countries• Harmonized limits not always beneficial for

equal health protection• Several developments in EU• Details of 2002/2003 inquiry published
