Ngozi yaumoyo ya MOH

EU iwonanso kuopsa kwa thanzi la Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH) yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito powonjezera zakudya zowonjezera.

MOH ndi mtundu wa mankhwala ovuta kwambiri osakaniza, omwe amapangidwa ndi kupatukana kwa thupi ndi kutembenuka kwa mankhwala a mafuta a petroleum ndi mafuta osakanizidwa, kapena malasha, gasi lachilengedwe kapena biomass liquefaction process.Imaphatikizapo mafuta odzaza a hydrocarbon mineral opangidwa ndi unyolo wowongoka, unyolo wanthambi ndi mphete, ndi mafuta onunkhira a hydrocarbon mineral mafuta opangidwa ndi polyaromatic.

MOH imagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chowonjezera chomwe chili mumitundu yosiyanasiyana yazakudya, monga mapulasitiki, zomatira, zinthu za mphira, makatoni, inki zosindikizira. MOH imagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati mafuta, zotsukira, kapena zosamatira panthawi yokonza chakudya kapena kupanga zinthu zolumikizana ndi chakudya.
MOH imatha kusamukira ku chakudya kuchokera kuzinthu zolumikizirana ndi chakudya komanso kuyika chakudya mosasamala kanthu kuti awonjezera mwadala kapena ayi. MOH makamaka imayipitsa chakudya kudzera m'mapaketi a chakudya, zida zopangira chakudya komanso zowonjezera zakudya. Pakati pawo, phukusi chakudya zopangidwa zobwezerezedwanso pepala ndi makatoni zambiri amakhala zinthu zazikulu chifukwa ntchito sanali chakudya kalasi inki nyuzipepala.

EFSA imanena kuti MOAH ili ndi chiopsezo chowononga maselo ndi carcinogenesis. Kuonjezera apo, kusowa kwa poizoni wa zinthu zina za MOAH kumamveka bwino, kudandaula za zotsatira zake zoipa pa thanzi laumunthu.
MOSH sinadziwike chifukwa cha zovuta zaumoyo, malinga ndi Food Chain Contants Science Expert Group (CONTAM Panel). Ngakhale kuyesa kochitidwa mu makoswe kunawonetsa zotsatira zake zoyipa, adatsimikiza kuti mtundu wa makoswe siwoyenera kuyesa zovuta za thanzi la munthu.
Pazaka zingapo zapitazi, European Commission (EC) ndi magulu a anthu akhala akuyang'anira mosamalitsa za MOH muzakudya za EU. Bungwe la European Commission lidalimbikitsa EFSA kuti iwunikenso kuopsa kwa thanzi lokhudzana ndi MOH ndikuganiziranso maphunziro oyenera omwe adasindikizidwa kuyambira kuwunika kwa 2012.
