On-Demand Webinar: Ethylene Oxide in Food 

Ethylene oxide is a highly reactive gas used in some countries to inhibit microbial contamination in certain food products. It is not approved for use in the European Union (EU). The interest in ethylene oxide has grown significantly since the fall of 2020 when ethylene oxide residues above the EU maximum residue level (MRL) were first reported in sesame seeds imported to EU countries from India. Since then, additional food ingredients and products became a subject of scrutiny and increased testing, including various spices or thickening agents and related products.
