COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1882/2006
of 19 December 2006
laying down methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of the levels of nitrates in certain foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)

Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 of 19 December 2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (2) provides for maximum levels for nitrates in spinach, lettuce, iceberg-type lettuce, baby foods and processed cereal-based food for infants and young children.
(2)
Sampling plays an important role in the precision of the determination of the levels of nitrates, as well the sample preparation procedures.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Sampling, sample preparation and analyses for the official control of the levels of nitrates in foodstuffs listed in Section 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 shall be carried out in accordance with the methods set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
