About
AHDB awarded a contract to Fera Science Ltd for an independent survey of the incidence and levels of key contaminants in representative samples of UK-grown cereals (wheat, barley, oats) and co-products (wheatfeed, oatfeed) across the supply chain.
The contract was for generating scientific evidence of compliance with legal guideline limits for human consumption and animal feed, and for monitoring current and emerging legislation and contaminant issues affecting the safety and market acceptability of cereal-based foods in the UK and overseas.
The award set a two-year initial term with options for up to three additional years (1 August 2025 to 31 July 2030).
