Table 7.

Concentration of furocoumarins and citropten in feed for chickens for fattening (as μg/kg complete feed) and their intake (as μg/kg bw per day) calculated at the maximum proposed use level of the additive in feed (40 mg/kg), considering the average and the maximum analysed value for each congener in the additive
