It modifies MRLs for the following pesticide residues: <strong>carbon tetrachloride, chlorothalonil, chlorpropham, dimethoate, ethoprophos, fenamidone, methiocarb, omethoate, propiconazole and pymetrozine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These residues are all <strong>banned <\/strong>in the EU and all existing authorisations for plant protection products containing these active substances have been revoked, so this Regulation lowers their MRLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>chlorpropham<\/strong>, an application has been made to take into account possible <strong>contamination <\/strong>of potatoes beyond the default MRL of 0.01 mg\/kg when stored in facilities with a history of use of this molecule. Due to the specific properties of chlorpropham, the current cleaning operations of storage facilities do not completely avoid residues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MRL therefore increases from 10 mg\/kg to <strong>0.4 mg\/kg<\/strong> for <strong>potatoes<\/strong>. However, food business operators are advised to develop a new cleaning method in order to limit the contamination of untreated potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Regulation will apply from <strong>02\/09\/2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Know that your Phytocontrol laboratory offers you the analysis of these pesticide residues under COFRAC accreditation.
