The European Commission has adopted a nonbinding recommendation for Member States to monitor
mineral oil hydrocarbons ("MOHs") in food and in
materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
According to EFSA, MOHs are suspected of causing cancer and
altering the human genome, with children being particularly
susceptible. Where MOHs are detected in food, further
investigations should be carried out in the food business
establishments to determine the possible sources. The monitoring
data should be supplied to EFSA.
