(a) the maximum quantity permitted (hereinafter referred to as "NPM") exceeding which the food and food material are excluded from circulation is set out in the Annex; or
(b) the authorised quantity (hereinafter referred to as "PM"), the conditions for the assessment of foodstuffs according to this limit value shall be determined by the limit value set out in the Annex for the contaminants histamine.
