    1. Aflatoxin B1
    2. Recovery — Aflatoxin M1
    3. Based on that opinion, it is appropriate to limit the total aflatoxin content of food (sum of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2) as well as the aflatoxin B1 content alone, aflatoxin B1 being by far the most toxic compound.
    4. Other derived products with a relatively large particle size (heterogeneous distribution of aflatoxin contamination)
    5. aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins in dried fruit but with the exception of dried figs and
    6. Concentration of certain mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, fumonisins, T-2 and HT-2-toxins) in feedingstuffs
    7. If groundnuts and nuts ‘in shell’ are analysed, it is assumed when calculating the aflatoxin content all the contamination is on the edible part.
    8. The Scientific Committee for Food has noted that aflatoxin B1 is a potent genotoxic carcinogen and, even at extremely low levels, contributes to the risk of liver cancer.
    9. Pistachios originating in, or consigned from Iran have been found, in many cases, to be contaminated with excessive levels of Aflatoxin B1.
    10. The Scientific Committee for Food has noted that Aflatoxin B1 is a potent genotoxic carcinogen and, even at extremely low doses, contributes to the risk of liver cancer.
    11. It is furthermore necessary for documentary evidence to be provided by the Iranian authorities to accompany each consignment of pistachios originating in, or consigned from Iran, relating to the conditions of production, sorting, handling, processing, packaging and transport and the results of laboratory analysis of the consignment for levels of Aflatoxin B1 and total Aflatoxin.
    12. However, if the conditions provided for in points (a), (b) and (c) are not complied with by the Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA), all subsequent consignments that do not comply with the maximum levels for aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin total, established by Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 shall be destroyed by the competent authorities of the importing Member State.
    13. From this consignment, (number of samples) samples were taken on (date), subjected to laboratory analysis on (date) in the (name of laboratory), to determine the level of aflatoxin B1 and level of total aflatoxin contamination, and the details of sampling, methods of analysis used and all results are attached.
    14. The competent authorities in each Member State shall take a sample for analysis, in accordance with the provisions of Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 401/2006 from consignments of foodstuffs for analysis of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin contamination before release for free circulation from the designated point of import into the Community.
    15. From this consignment samples for aflatoxin analysis were taken on … (date), subjected to laboratory analysis on … (date) in the … (name of laboratory), and the details of sampling, methods of analysis used and all results are attached.
