The original 1.1 ppm set as the provisional standard value in the "Setting of the Provisional Standard Values Related to Deoxynivalenol in Wheat" (May 21, 2002 Eclipse No. 052101) was revised to not More than 1.0mg/kg, and set "Deoxynivalenin in wheat" in "Specifications for Cereals and Beans" in "Specifications for Foods, Additives, etc." (Notification No. 370 of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 1959) Specifications for alcohol-related ingredients".
