About
AHDB awarded a contract to Fera Science Ltd for the 2024-741 project to monitor contaminants in UK cereals.
The contract covered an independent survey of the incidence and levels of key contaminants in representative samples of UK-grown cereals (wheat, barley, and oats) and co-products (wheatfeed and oatfeed) across the supply chain, to demonstrate compliance with legal guideline limits and safety for human consumption and animal feed.
The work also included monitoring current and emerging legislation and contaminant issues affecting the safety and acceptability of cereal-based foods in domestic and export markets.
The contract set a two-year phase with potential extension for up to three additional years in 12-month increments (1 August 2025 to 31 July 2030).
