⚠️ Alarming decision! Sri Lanka cabinet decided to raise the permissible limit of aflatoxin for internationally recognized food supplements & children's supplements like Triposha.
🆕 New Limits:
1. 5 ppb for type B1 Aflatoxin (most toxic)
2. 10 ppb aflatoxin (total)
⭕️ EU limit for B1 aflatoxins for processed cereal-based foods and baby foods: 0.1 ppb
⭕️ These newly set limits are 50 times higher than the EU standard!

☠️ Aflatoxin B1 is a potent carcinogen with strict regulatory limits worldwide due to its high toxicity especially when it comes to products involving children.
We urge Sri Lankan authorities to reconsider this decision in order to protect children's health!
