According to the European Federation of the Trade in Dried Fruit & Edible Nuts, Processed Fruit & Vegetables, Processed Fishery products, Spices, Honey (FRUCOM), the European Commission launched a stakeholder consultation on proposed changes to the cadmium maximum levels. The proposed maximum limit (ML) for cadmium in tree nuts and peanuts is 0.20 mg/kg. Currently, peanuts and tree nuts are exempted from cadmium ML (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006).
