Hi, I am doing a research about the presence of ochratoxin A in chicken meat, but unfortunately I couldn't find the exact residual permissible limits in meat, only in animal feed. Thank you
Ochratoxin A is readily converted into Ochratoxin alfa by animals. Apparently the authorities thus have not (yet) set a limit in animal products.
Dear Dr.Hazhaow
The European Commission Regulation (EC) No. No. 472/2002 of 12 March 2002 set the maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs to be not more than 3 μg/kg.
Dear Hazhaow,
The European Commission Recommendation 2006/576/EC indicates that the maximum tolerable level of ochra-toxin A (OTA) in poultry feeds is 0.1 mg OTA/kg.
please see attached file too.

Dear dr. shahab
Thank you very much for the attached article. It was so informative. But as a meat quality control person, I am still needing the limited levels in chicken meat ( final products).
Thank you for Dr. Kan and Dr.Sulaiman too.
Some more information on limits and occurrence of residues in the attached paper.
