(6)The specification limits for mercury (≤ 1,0 mg/kg) and platinum (≤ 2 mg/kg) for ‘Calcium L-Methylfolate’ laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1318 refer to the limits in the specifications of this novel food authorised as a source of folate in infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/571note. However, the specification limits of ≤ 1,5 mg/kg for mercury and ≤ 10 mg/kg for platinum were also originally authorised by the Irish competent authority in 2008, based on a favourable opinion on the safety of the novel food by the European Food Safety Authoritynote. It is therefore necessary to correct Table 2 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 accordingly.
