Regulation (EC) 915/2023
Annex I
Maximum levels for certain contaminants in food(1)
2.6 Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) equivalents
| Reference | Numbering | Foodstuffs | Maximum Level (mg/kg) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| For delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ99-THC) equivalents, maximum levels refer to lower bound concentrations, which are calculated on the assumption that all the values below the limit of quantification are zero. The maximum level refers to the sum of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ99-THC) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (Δ99-THCA), expressed as Δ99-THC. A factor of 0,877 is applied to the level of Δ99-THCA and the maximum level refers to the sum of Δ99-THC + 0,877 × Δ99-THCA (in case of a separate determination and quantification of Δ99-THC and Δ99-THCA). | ||||
