EU revises cadmium limits

The EU is revising its maximum limits on certain grains, oilseeds and general produce. Some members have raised concerns about proposed levels for some oilseeds and durum wheat, although the Commission is reluctant to maintain limits on wheat as it is one of the main contributors to cadmium in food. A new revised draft was circulated ahead of the 23rd November meeting and all details can be viewed in AM/2011/436 & 213.
