Designation:D843322Standard Specification forFood Safety and Quality of Hempseed Intended forDehulling or Oil Extraction Food Purposes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8433;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONHempseed is grown for human consumption across the world,and many products are consumed inraw form with no further pathogen reduction step.To be fit for consumption,food safety and storagequality aspects need consideration to ensure acceptable seed is used.Minimum levels of quality andsafety are defined in this specification to protect buyers and consumers from harm,address food safetyrisk where possible,and assist business-to-business transactions.This will allow for accuratedescriptions for dehulling or oil extraction purposes or re-targeting product as necessary into variousfurther non-food processing or other uses.1.Scope1.1 This specification establishes the maximum allowableE.coli and Salmonella microbial levels,moisture content,peroxide value(PV),free fatty acid(FFA)content,yeast andmold levels,representative heavy metals,total coliforms,foreign material,and discoloration for hempseed intended forhuman consumption.1.2 This specification applies to plant breeders,hempseedproducers,seed cleaners,processors,wholesalers,regulatorybodies,and analytical laboratories.This specification does notapply to viable hemp seed intended for germination andplanting,and does not set limitations for pesticide limits,orphysical purity beyond foreign matter.See Note 1.NOTE1Additional hazard limits and characterization of attributes willbe assessed in future versions of this document.1.3 This specification describes minimum information re-quired in a certificate of analysis.1.4 Where aspects of this specification differ from regionalregulatory jurisdictional requirements,the jurisdictional au-thoritys directive shall take precedence.1.5 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas the standard.No other units of measurement are included inthis standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D8270 Terminology Relating to CannabisD8400 Guide for Assessing Spoilage of Hemp Seed In-tended for Human Consumption2.2 AOAC International Standard:AOAC 935.29 Moisture in Malt32.3 AOCS Standards:4AOCS Ca 5a-40 Free Fatty Acids in Crude and Refined Fatsand OilsAOCS Cd 8b-90 Peroxide Value,Acetic Acid,IsooctaneMethod2.4 DGHM Standard(German Society for Hygiene andMicrobiology):DGF C-V 6a Peroxide Value Method according to Wheeler1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D37 onCannabis and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D37.07 on IndustrialHemp.Current edition approved July 15,2022.Published August 2022.DOI:10.1520/D8433-22.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from AOAC International,2275 Research Blvd.,Suite 300,Rockville,MD 20850-3250,http:/www.aoac.org.4Available from the American Oil Chemists Society,2710 S.Boulder,Urbana,IL 61802-6996.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.12.5 ISO Standards:5ISO 6579 Horizontal Methods for the Detection,Enumera-tion and Serotyping of SalmonellaISO 16649-1 Horizontal method for the enumeration ofbeta-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli,Part 1ISO 16649-2 Horizontal method for the enumeration ofbeta-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli,Part 2ISO 21528-2 Horizontal method for the enumeration ofEnterobacteriaceae,Part 22.6 MFHPB Standards:6MFHPB-20 Methods for the Isolation and Identification ofSalmonella from Foods and Environmental SamplesMFHPB-22 Enumeration of Yeasts and
