3-MCPD & glycidol in oil and infant formula
3-MCPD & glycidol in oil and infant formula (March 2020) Snap-shot survey of processing contaminants in oil and infant formula New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS), with input from FSANZ, did a snap-shot survey of 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD) & glycidol in vegetable oils and infant formula. These contaminants are formed during oil processing. Infant formula was selected as it is a special purpose food for infants that can contain vegetable oil as an ingredient, and which is closely monitored by FSANZ for safety. What did the NZFS survey test? In total, 100 oil and infant formula products were tested (44 oil products and 56 infant formula products). Half the products were sourced in Australia. What did the survey find? Levels of 3-MCPD esters and glycidyl esters were found to be generally consistent with, or lower…

Analytical survey of mineral oil hydrocarbons in food and food packaging
Analytical survey of mineral oil hydrocarbons in food and food packaging (August 2018) In 2014, FSANZ commissioned a survey to investigate the potential migration of certain mineral oil hydrocarbons from food packaging into foods. Mineral oil hydrocarbons are organic chemicals often used in printing inks and adhesives and are an approved food processing aid in the Food Standards Code. We selected 61 packaging samples and 56 food samples (including their associated packaging) for analysis from a range of common foods common (pasta, cereals, sugar, packet powders and cake mixes, and frozen items such as fish and chicken). We looked at two common types of hydrocarbons in food packaging; mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons. Key findings…
