This EUR-Lex consolidated text of Directive 2002/32/EC contains Annex I maximum levels for undesirable substances in products intended for animal feed. The loaded rows cover the inorganic-contaminant feed limits for total arsenic, cadmium, lead, and total mercury. Values are recorded on the directive basis of mg/kg (ppm) relative to feed with a moisture content of 12 percent. The arsenic and mercury species are recorded as total arsenic and total mercury because the directive footnotes state that the maximum levels refer to total arsenic and total mercury. One cadmium mineral-feed formula row is gap-logged because it is expressed as a phosphorus-dependent formula rather than a single fixed point.
