Scope

What is BS EN 17279 - Determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs about? BS EN 17279 discusses multimethod for the screening of various toxins in foodstuffs. BS EN 17279 is a European standard on the determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs to prevent severe health effects. BS EN 17279 specifies a screening method for the determination of aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol, fumonisin B1 and B2, ochratoxin A, T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, and zearalenone in foodstuffs by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The screening method aims is to determine whether a certain pre-defined concentration (the screening target concentration, STC) is exceeded or not. The result of the screening is either “negative” or “suspect”. “Negative” (screen negative) means that the targeted mycotoxins are not detected or potentially present but below the STC. Note: Under BS EN 17279 foods for infants and young children are excluded. Who is BS EN 17279- Determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs for ? BS EN 17279 on the determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs is useful for:
