When such standards are not available, or where relevant to the manufacturing process, at least the following particulars shall be described and their concentrations determined:
for micro-organisms: microbiological contamination, mycotoxins, heavy metals;
for fermentation products (not containing micro-organisms as active agents): they shall follow the same requirements as for micro-organism products (see above). The extent to which spent growth medium is incorporated into the final product shall also be indicated.
for plant derived substances: microbiological and botanical contamination (e.g. castor oil plant, weed seeds, rye ergot in particular), mycotoxins, pesticide contamination, maximum values for solvents and, where appropriate, substances of toxicological concern known to occur in the original plant;
for animal derived substances: microbiological contamination, heavy metals and maximum values for solvents, where appropriate;
for mineral substances: heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs;
for products produced by chemical synthesis and processes: all chemicals used in the synthetic processes and any intermediate products remaining in the final product shall be identified and their concentrations given.
The selection of mycotoxins for analysis shall be made according to the different matrices, where appropriate.
