5.4 Glycidyl fatty acid esters, expressed as glycidol

Reference	Numbering	Foodstuffs	Maximum Level (ug/kg)	Remarks
M11	5.4		The maximum level refers to the sum of glycidyl esters, 3-MBPD fatty acid esters and 3-MIPD fatty acid esters.	In case of use of a direct method to determine glycidyl esters, for the sum of glycidyl esters, 3-MBPD fatty acid esters and 3-MIPD fatty acid esters, maximum levels refer to lower bound concentrations, which are calculated on the assumption that all the values below the limit of quantification are zero.
M11	5.4.1	Vegetable oils and fats, fish oils and oils from other marine organisms placed on the market for the final consumer or for use as an ingredient in food except products listed in 5.4.2	1000	Except virgin olive oils(7).

The fat content is as declared on the label or in case the labelled fat content is not available, as extracted for analysis.
