N.B. 1. Figures for liquids are in mg/l not mg/kg.
2. The limit of
detection was 10 mg/kg.
3. In calculating the mean, a level of 10 mg/kg was
assumed for all samples below the limit of detection. The mean is therefore an
over-estimate.
4. A breakdown of analyses in particular product groups is
available on request. |
