Based on that opinion, it is appropriate to limit the total aflatoxin content of food (sum of aflatoxins B, B, G and G) as well as the aflatoxin B content alone, aflatoxin B being by far the most toxic compound.

While it is not possible to assess precisely quantitatively and with certainty to what extent this reduction can be achieved, it is evident from the data available that the different cleaning and processing steps are sufficiently effective in removing aflatoxins from maize products destined for human consumption whereby raw maize containing levels of aflatoxin B1 of 5 μg/kg and aflatoxin total of 10 μg/kg will result in maize products destined for human consumption complying with the maximum levels of aflatoxin B1 of 2 μg/kg and aflatoxin total of 4 μg/kg, providing a high level consumer protection.

(b) the total content and the content soluble in water, expressed as a percentage of the fertiliser by mass where the soluble content is at least a quarter of the total content;
