d. Germany (contd)<br />

*, concentrations exceeding the MLs <strong>of</strong> national legislation.<br />

Source <strong>of</strong> analytical data: Germany submission (Fricke, 2007). National legislation: European Commission (1995).<br />

Note: 2928 <strong>food</strong> samples were analysed between 2000 and 2007. The enzymatic method DIN EN 1988-2:1998 and the Optimized Monier-Williams<br />

Method DIN EN 1988-1:1998 for <strong>food</strong>s in general (but not for cabbage, onions, ginger, leek or soya) were used for sulfite determination. The high mean<br />

value <strong>of</strong> 163 mg/kg in preserved and dried vegetables was mostly due to a few samples <strong>of</strong> dried tomatoes with very high sulfite concentrations (above<br />

1500 mg/kg).
