Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority informs about results of analyses of guar gum samples (E 412)
08/17/2007The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) today received results of analyses of samples taken in connection with the case of additive E 412 – guar gum contamined by dioxins.
The Inspection Authority took 23 samples of guar gum originating in India at six food business operators. Analyses today revealed limit-exceeding contents of dioxins in six samples taken at the company Arnaud Česká s.r.o., Kralupy nad Vltavou and in two samples taken at the company Brenntag CR, Praha, s.r.o., the other samples complied with recommended limits.
To this day, the Inspection Authority temporarily banned all food business operators where the samples were taken from releasing suspicious batches of E 412 into circulation. Now, this ban is lifted for the operators whose samples complied with prescribed limits.
Companies Arnaud and Brenntag now will have to ecologically dispose of or return the suspended supplies of this substance to the original supplier.
The recommended limit for dioxins in foodstuffs is 0,75 picograms/gram; limits detected in positive samples varied from 1,3 to 3,1 picograms/gram.
