Jan 01, 2020
The European Commission reviewed the maximum allowed level of citrinin in red yeast rice preparations under Regulation 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs. Red yeast rice is the more common name for rice fermented with red yeast Monascus purpureus. The latter substance is often found in food supplements for acclaimed benefits in relation to cholesterol levels, blood circulation and digestion.
The permitted level of the contaminant citrinin in food supplements is lowered from 2000 μg/kg to 100 μg/kg.
