The Subgroup deals with topics associated with environmental, adulteration- and packaging-related contaminants. It also considers specific emerging issues which may be of critical safety concern. However, the mycotoxin issues are not managed by the Subgroup ‘Environmental and Emerging Contaminants’ as this field of expertise is under the responsibility of the Mycotoxins Community.
