CLAY PIGEONS AND OILSEED RAPE
Posted on
UK oilseed crushers have issued a warning to growers of oilseed rape over clay pigeon shooting over their crop during the growing season.
Pitch, which contains very high levels of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), is used as a binder in clays. PAHs are strictly regulated in EU food law. Even small particles from the clays could therefore cause major contamination incidents. There is also a risk of a claim being made against a grower selling a contaminated crop.
Farmers are advised not to allow the shooting of clays over a standing crop once it reaches the yellow bud stage and to ensure any clays are stored well away from oilseed rape crops.
