Description
The draft Regulation establishes maximum levels for nickel in tree nuts, vegetables, seaweed, pulses, oilseeds, cereals, cocoa and chocolate products, food for infants and young children, fruit and vegetable juices. Taking into account the outcome of the EFSA risk assessment of nickel in food and drinking water (available at: https://doi.org/10.2903/j.efsa.2020.6268), the maximum levels for nickel are established to ensure a high level of human health protection.
