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

Sampling year Number of samples Chromium in food and drinking water The final food dataset includes 24 629 results, which are shown grouped by sampling country in Figure 5 and by year of analysis in Figure 6. Most of the foods were sampled in Germany (77.5 %) and, within these samples, 73.8 % also reported Germany as the country of origin of the food. Samples were collected in a total of 10 different countries. All analytical results were expressed as whole weight. 20000 18000 16000 14000 12000 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 Austria Belgium Czech Republic Finland France Germany Greece Ireland Slovakia United Kingdom Figure 5: Distribution of food samples analysed for chromium across different European countries. 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 Number of samples Figure 6: Distribution of food samples analysed for chromium over the sampling years.
