2021- Monitoring dioxins, PCBs, flame retardants and PFAS in agricultural and fishery products in 2021

On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR) analyses samples of agricultural products of animal origin for dioxins, PCBs, brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs). This includes meat, milk, eggs and fish. The samples are taken at the primary production or processing stage (e.g. in slaughterhouses or raw milk collection services). For dioxin-like compounds, 350 samples are screened first with the DR CALUX® method. Samples giving a signal indicating a level above the lowest action level are regarded as suspected. These samples are further examined using GC/HRMS as confirmatory method. Concerning fish, shellfish and crustaceans, approx. 25 samples are collected at sea by research vessels, at the fish auction, or from whole-sale traders (farmed fish).

受农业、自然与食品质量部（Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, LNV）委托，瓦赫宁根食品安全研究所（Wageningen Food Safety Research, WFSR）针对动物源农产品样本开展二噁英、多氯联苯（Polychlorinated Biphenyls, PCBs）、溴化阻燃剂（Brominated Flame Retardants, BFRs）以及多氟和全氟烷基物质（Poly- and Perfluorinated Alkyl Substances, PFASs）的检测分析。本次检测覆盖的样本类型包括肉类、奶类、蛋类及鱼类，采集环节涵盖初级生产或加工阶段，例如屠宰场或生乳收集服务网点。针对类二噁英化合物，研究人员首先采用DR CALUX®检测法对350份样本进行初筛；若样本检测信号显示其浓度高于最低行动限值，则将其判定为可疑样本。后续将采用气相色谱/高分辨质谱法（Gas Chromatography/High Resolution Mass Spectrometry, GC/HRMS）作为确证方法，对上述可疑样本开展进一步检测。针对鱼类、贝类及甲壳类动物，研究船会在海上作业区域、鱼类拍卖场或养殖鱼类批发商处采集约25份样本。
