Biphenyl, also known as phenylbenzene, dibenzene, or diphenyl, is an organic compound belonging to the group of aromatic hydrocarbons used in agriculture as a fungicide. It may be present in creosote-based wood preservatives.

Biphenyl is an active ingredient not authorized for use as a component in plant protection products. It has low acute toxicity; the WHO established a PTDI of 0.038 ppm for biphenyl. This PTDI has been adopted by the EU as an ADI.

Its presence in food has been detected in tea and condiments, primarily nutmeg.

For more information on the risk assessment arising from the presence of biphenyl in food, please see the attached file.
