[QUOTE="Baling Hay, post: 5391416, member: 1057"] There has been a huge rise in rejections for erucic acid in recent years. The crushes are taking up to 5% erucic acid at intake even though the contract states max. 2%. There is a possibility that they may have to lower their levels at intake to 2% as the Food safety organisations are pushing it to be max. 2% due to it being dangerous to human health. Farm saved seed seems to be a huge contributor to the current problem. Rapeseed naturally wants to revert back to its natural high erucic levels, several generations of farm saving can result in erucic acid levels over 10% and a heap of rapeseed that could be worthless......
