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 (Δ9-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 (Δ9-THC) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (Δ9-THCA), expressed as Δ9-THC. A factor of 0,877 is applied to the level of Δ9-THCA and the maximum level refers to the sum of Δ9-THC + 0,877 × Δ9-THCA (in case of a separate determination and quantification of Δ9-THC and Δ9-THCA). | ||||
