The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has recently updated its risk assessment of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) in food. MOH, comprising saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH), can infiltrate food through environmental contamination, machinery lubricants used during harvesting and food production, food additives, and food contact materials.
