Hi M.Yusuf,

 

Yes. The answer(s) to yr query is typically illustrated in the Product Specification which usually contains a mixture of Safety (eg BCPA) and non-Safety (eg Organoleptic) criteria. However the exact mix will vary with the product.

Hi Julio,

 

See attachment com4 in this Post (which may be a later version of document used for the "extracted portion" in post 3)  -

(Note that the data column is misaligned in "extracted portion" but is correctly formatted in full document. However also note that the values for "molds" in full document may be a (duplicated) typo of APC values and that the correct values may be as given in the extracted portion.)
