Intervention value

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the health sector, the intervention value is the value for residues or contamination of foodstuffs or luxury foods that are below the corresponding limit values and for which immediate measures must be taken to avert health risks .

General

In addition there are also limits to the intervention value, a general environment - guideline of the Federal Health Office (BGA). In order to avert health hazards, intervention is therefore not only made when limit values ​​are exceeded, but rather when the intervention value is lower. This is intended to prevent or reduce entry into the environment at an early stage.
