Table 3: Acute exposure
Acute exposure to sum of T-2 and HT-2 from processed oat grains, unprocessed oat grains with applied reduction factor, and oats combined based on DNSYIC and NDNS years 1-11 consumption data and occurrence data collected from the FSA call for evidence (µg/kg bw/day; LB-UB).

*Estimates have been rounded to 2 significant figures.
+Oats with reduction factor - unprocessed oat grains with reduction factor applied.
**Processed oat grains – RPC derivatives/ ingredients i.e. RPCs which have undergone basic processing such as grinding, milling or crushing.
++ Oats combined - combination of processed oat grains and unprocessed oat grains with reduction factor (85%).
LB - Lower bound: values below the limit of quantification (LOQ) are treated as zero; UB - Upper bound: values below the LOQ are treated as at the LOQ.
** If single value is shown, it indicates that the exposures are based on detected values above the LOQ.
