Appendix I 



Vomitoxin Advisory Levels: 



1. 1 ppm on finished wheat products, e.g. flour, bran and 

 germ, that may potentially be consumed by humans. FDA 

 is not stating an advisory level for wheat intended for 

 milling because normal manufacturing practices and 

 additional technology available to millers can 

 substantially reduce vomitoxin levels in the finished 

 wheat product from those found in the original raw 

 wheat. Because there is significant variability in 

 manufacturing processes, an advisory level for raw 

 wheat is not practical. 



2. 10 ppm vomitoxin on grains and grain by-products 

 destined for ruminating beef and feedlot cattle older 

 than 4 months and for chickens, with the added 

 recommendation that these ingredients not exceed 50% of 

 the diet of cattle or chickens. 



3. 5 ppm vomitoxin on grains and grain by-products 

 destined for swine with the added recommendation that 

 these ingredients not exceed 20% of their diet. 



4. 5 ppm vomitoxin on grains and grain by-products 

 destined for all other animals with the added 

 recommendation that these ingredients not exceed 40% of 

 their diet.
