PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITY

Potential migration levels of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOAH and MOSH) from food

Food Standards Agency · Contract details notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 5 Oct 2026, 08:09.

Opportunity overview

There is currently limited UK capability to measure MOSH/MOAH levels in foods. To evaluate dietary exposure and possible migration levels of MOSH/MOAH, methodology for the determination of MOSH/MOAH in foods needs to be established. The objective of this current piece of work is to apply methods for the detection of MOSH/MOAH within food and ascertain any potential migration levels from food contact materials and as environmental contaminants in food. The development of these methods and their subsequent validation will allow the FSA to determine the risk to the consumer from exposure from foods which have been contaminated with MOSH/MOAH and additionally respond to incidents.
