GCC Draft Technical Regulation for Contaminants - Natural Toxicants (8 page(s), in Arabic)

This Standard sets out the maximum levels (MLs) of specified natural toxicants in nominated foods. As a general principle, regardless of whether or not an ML exists, the levels of natural toxicants in all foods should be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (the ALARA principle).

An ML has been established for those foods which provide a significant contribution to the total dietary exposure. Food not listed in this Standard may contain low levels of natural toxicants. However, MLs have not been assigned to these foods because they present a low public health risk. The general provisions of the Food Acts relating to the availability of safe foods apply to all foods. MLs have been set at levels that are consistent with public health and safety and which are reasonably achievable from sound production and natural resource management practices.
