In conjunction with EFISC-GTP, GMP+ International, OVOCOM FCA and QS, AIC has amended the aflatoxin risk ratings for some origins of  maize:

• Ukraine moved from Medium to Low
• South West France (defined as Departments 31, 32, 33, 40, 47, 64, 65 and 82) increased from Low to Medium
• All other Departments of France remain in Low Risk

The new risk ratings are applicable from 27^th December 2021

In addition to the changes of risk ratings, the Maize Aflatoxin Sector Note has been updated to improve readability and aid clarity, and can be found here.
