The requirements set out in this Annex shall be applied where foodstuffs are analysed for the official control of the levels of 2,3,7,8-substituted polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dioxin-like PCBs) and for other regulatory purposes.
Good to know
Only a small number of the 209 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exhibit these toxicological properties. The majority do not exhibit dioxin-like toxicity but have a different toxicological profile. These are called non-dioxin-like PCBs.
