(16)Food supplements containing botanicals from India have been subjected to an increased level of official controls and to special conditions at their entry into the Union due to the risk of contamination by ethylene oxide since January 2022. The official controls carried out by the Member States show improvement in compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation. Therefore, while an increased level of official controls is still appropriate, the level of 20 % of consignments entering the Union is no longer justified for that commodity and the frequency of controls should be decreased to 10 % of consignments entering the Union in point 1 of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. In addition, as the entry on guar gum from India was deleted from Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1662note, the measure should not concern guar gum from India as raw material containing botanicals intended for the production of food supplements.
