2022-0150

AIC, in cooperation with fellow scheme owners EFISC-GTP, GMP+ International, OVOCOM FCA and QS, have amended the aflatoxin risk rating for maize from the following origins:

• Canada moves from MEDIUM  to LOW
• South West France moves from MEDIUM to LOW (as per other regions of France)

These changes are effective immediately and may permit a reduction in sampling and analysis requirement for maize from these origins.
