EN 15891 HT-2/T-2 Detection in Baby Foods: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

EN 15891 is a European standard for the detection of HT-2 and T-2 toxins in baby foods. These toxins are produced by Fusarium fungi, which can contaminate grains used in the production of baby food. The standard outlines the requirements for testing these toxins, including sampling, sample preparation, and analytical methods.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding EN 15891 is governed by the European Unions (EU) Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The EFSA sets limits for HT-2 and T-2 toxins in baby food to ensure that they are safe for human consumption. In addition to the EU regulations, some countries have their own national standards and guidelines for testing these toxins.

International standards governing EN 15891 include:

  • ISO/TS 17393:2009 (Microbiology) - Determination of HT-2 and T-2 toxin content in food

  • ASTM E2415-10 (Standard Practice for Sampling and Analysis of Foods)

    • National standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • EN 15891 (European Standard)

  • ISO/TS 17393:2009 (International Standard)

  • ASTM E2415-10 (American Standard)

    • The standard development organizations involved in the creation of EN 15891 are:

  • CEN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

    • Standards evolve over time, and new versions may be released to update testing methods or revise limits. It is essential for laboratories to stay up-to-date with the latest standards and guidelines.

    EN 15891 HT-2/T-2 Detection in Baby Foods testing is required to ensure that baby foods are safe for human consumption. The toxins can be produced during grain cultivation, processing, or storage, making it crucial to monitor their levels throughout the supply chain.
