Abstract

Oilseeds food chain operators are coordinated through a food safety survey plan, in order to get a realistic picture of the contamination in oilseed products (seeds, oilseed meal, and vegetable oil). Concerned crops are those cultivated or processed in France: rapeseed, sunflower and soybean. Grain storage companies, feeding industries and oil industries participate voluntarily, and send their self-data that are pooled in a database. The food safety of oilseeds survey plan allows to identify which are main concerns, for instance post-harvest insecticide residues from cross contamination during storage. Results of this monitoring plan were transmitted to the French government and the European Commission in cases of revisions of regulatory thresholds.
