SCOPA warns on PAH's
The UK Seed Crushers and Oil Processors Association (SCOPA) is demanding greater vigilence from farmers to avoid high PAHs (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in the UK rapeseed crop. This year there have been several loads delivered to crush plants with extremely high PAH levels. This is costing UK crushers hundreds of thousands of pounds to deal with.
