TEQ-WHO values:

• Dioxins

• Dioxin-like PCBs

• Dioxins + Dioxin-like PCBs

Dibenzo-p-dioxins:

• 2,3,7,8-TetraCDD

• 1,2,3,7,8-PentaCDD

• 1,2,3,4,7,8-HexaCDD

• 1,2,3,6,7,8-HexaCDD

• 1,2,3,7,8,9-HexaCDD

• 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HeptaCDD

• OctaCDD

Dibenzofurans:

• 2,3,7,8-TetraCDF

• 1,2,3,7,8-PentaCDF

• 2,3,4,7,8-PentaCDF

• 1,2,3,4,7,8-HexaCDF

• 1,2,3,6,7,8-HexaCDF

• 1,2,3,7,8,9-HexaCDF

• 2,3,4,6,7,8-HexaCDF

Dioxins and PCBs are persistent organic pollutants, whose presence in food and animal feed is regulated by several pieces of EU legislation, including the following:

• Commission Regulation (EU) 1259/2011

• Commission Regulation (EU) 277/2012

• Directive 2002/32/EC
