Appendix 1: Benzene in Beverages -- Data for 139 sampled products generated by the Food Research Division, 2007

Notes

Samples of 139 different products were collected and analysed in 2007
Bolded concentration values indicate beverages (alcoholic) that would not normally be consumed by children.
Highlighted entries indicate products that, when analysed "as is", contained higher than 3 ng/mL benzene.
Dilution factors were calculated as in the May 19, 2006 assessment.

* It should be noted that the absence of any particular brand from this survey means only that the brand was not included in the survey. No particular inference should be drawn from the presence or absence of any brand.

* It should be noted that differences between foods and brands do not necessarily reflect differences in exposure or potential risk that would be faced by consumers. The results shown in the table are exploratory and should not be used as indices of good product choices for consumers.
