Ethylene Oxide (EtO) & 2-Chloro Ethanol (2-CE)

The recent recall of food products exported to the EU due to non-compliance with EU regulations has highlighted the importance of quantitation of ethylene oxide (EtO) & 2-chloroethanol (2-CE) residue in food.

To ensure the quality and safety of food products, the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) prohibits the sales of goods exceeding the MRL values of 0.05 mg/kg (or 50 ppb) for the sum of EtO and 2-CE.
