Chromium in <strong>food</strong> and <strong>drinking</strong> <strong>water</strong><br />
Table 5: LOQ cut-offs established in <strong>food</strong> samples analysed for <strong>chromium</strong> and classified as described in FoodEx classification (EFSA, 2011a). Selection of<br />
the different cut-offs was based on the evaluation of the distribution of LOQs among the different <strong>food</strong> samples at the appropriate FoodEx level. Food samples<br />
reporting LOQs above the shown values were excluded from the final dataset.<br />
