Notes: aMoE = TD05 (19.6 µg OTA kg bw−1 per day adjusted for 5–7-day gavage) divided by total RCE mean exposure to ochratoxin A (ng OTA kg bw−1 per day). MoE < 5000 (in bold) points to need for risk reduction.

b

Using a processing factor of 0.82 or 0.64 plus pasta occurrence data where indicated.

c

All occurrence values were below the EC ML for rice and coffee.

d

There is presently no EC ML for beer.
