Presentation transcript:

Health & Consumers Directorate General Descriptor 9 - Contaminants in fish and other seafood for human consumption do not exceed levels established by Community legislation or other relevant standards

Interpretation of the Descriptor What is included Presence of (groups of) hazardous substances Toxic persistent and liable to bioaccumulate In wild caught fish, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms roe and seaweed Destined for human consumption For which regulatory levels are (being) set for human consumption

Interpretation of the Descriptor What is not included Pharmaceuticals (including veterinary medicinal products) Marine biotoxins Links with other TG Reports TG8 “Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects”

Attribute Levels of contaminants in fish or other seafood for human consumption Criterion Compliance with regulatory provisions

Indicators Actual levels detected Frequency levels exceed regulatory levels Number of contaminants exceeding in parallel

Attribute – list of contaminants Lead, Cadmium, Mercury Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Dioxins & DL PCBs Radionuclides Non-DL PCBs Brominated flame retardants Polyfluorinated compounds (PFAS) Arsenic Organotin compounds Organochlorine pesticides Phthalates
