Abstract

Total aflatoxin ($B_1+B_2+G_1+G_2$) maximum levels of 15 ${\mu}g/kg$ ($B_1=10\;{\mu}g/kg$) were set for grain, beans, peanut, nuts & their processed food (grinding, cutting etc.), processed cereal product & processed bean product, confectionaries (peanut or nut-containing food), soybean paste, red pepper paste, dried red pepper, processed com products for popcorn and steamed rice. The maximum levels for aflatoxin $M_1$ are 0.5 ${\mu}g/kg$ for raw milk and milks before manufacturing processing. The patulin maximum level is 50 ${\mu}g/kg$ in apple juice and apple juice concentrate (including concentrate to use as raw material and converted by concentration multiple). The ochratoxin A is managed at the maximum levels of 5 ${\mu}g/kg$ in wheat, barley, rye, coffee beans and roasted coffee, 10 ${\mu}g/kg$ in instant coffee and raisin, 2 ${\mu}g/kg$ in Grape juice, concentrated grape juice as reconstituted and wine. The fumonisins ($B_1+B_2$) maximum levels are 4000 ${\mu}g/kg$ in com, 2000 ${\mu}g/kg$ in com processed food (grinding, cutting etc.) and com powder, 1000 ${\mu}g/kg$ in processed com products. Standards for mycotoxins in food have been established and the mycotoxin risk in food is managed reasonably and scientifically, based on risk assessment and exposure analysis.

식품 중 아플라톡신 ($B_1+B_2+G_1+G_2$)의 기준은 곡류, 두류, 땅콩, 견과류 및 그 단순가공품 (분쇄, 절단 등), 곡류 가공품 및 두류가공품, 과자류 (땅콩 또는 견과류 함유식품), 장류, 고춧가루, 팝콘용 옥수수가공품, 기타 식품류 (찐쌀)에 대하여 15 ($B_1$은 10)${\mu}g/kg$ 이하로, 원유 및 우유류 중 아플라톡신의 기준은 $M_1$으로서 0.5 ${\mu}g/kg$ 이하로 설정되었다. 사과주스, 사과주스 농축액 중 파튤린의 기준은 50 ${\mu}g/kg$ 이하로 설정되어 있으며, 오크라톡신 A의 기준은 밀, 호밀, 보리, 커피콩, 북은 커피에 5 ${\mu}g/kg$, 인스턴트커피, 건포도 중 10 ${\mu}g/kg$, 포도주스, 포도주스 농축액, 포도주 중 2 ${\mu}g/kg$ 이하로 설정되었고, 푸모니신($B_1+B_2$)은 옥수수 중 4 mg/kg, 옥수수 단순가공품 및 옥수수 가루 중 2 mg/kg, 옥수수 가공품 중 1 mg/kg 이하로 설정되었다. 현재 식품 중 곰팡이독소에 대한 안전관리는 노출량 조사와 위해평가를 통해 합리적이고 과학적으로 설정되어 관리하고 있다.
