Chlorate and perchlorate determination
Determination of chlorate and perchlorate content in food, feed, and dietary supplements with an HPLC-MS/MS method.
Chlorate has been historically used in plant protection products and is a by-product of chlorine disinfectants used in food and drinking water processing. Maximum levels of chlorate in different food products are included in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on pesticide residues.
Several sources and pathways for perchlorate formation and contamination in food have been identified. Soil, water, and fertilizers used during food production are the main concerns. Maximum perchlorate levels in various foods are established in Commission Regulation (EU) No 2023/915.
