On December 11, 2018, FSANZ sought submissions on a draft (see previous post), and approved the Proposal M1016 on May 1, 2019. The Proposal considered and assessed the variation of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for a number of agricultural and veterinary chemicals in Schedule 20 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
As for nuts and dried fruits, the MRL changes on the Schedule 20 are the following:
As for nuts and dried fruits, the MRL changes on the Schedule 20 are the following:
- Omitting from each of the following chemicals, the foods and associated MRLs:
- The residue of clofentezine in stone fruits at 1 ppm.
- The residue of diafenthiuron in peanut at T0.1 ppm.
- The residue of fenvalerate in peanut at T0.1 ppm.
- The residue of phosmet in stone fruits at 1 ppm.
- The residue of pyridate in peanut at *0.1 ppm.
- The residue of sulfoxaflor in dried grapes (currants, raisins and sultanas) at T10 ppm.
- Inserting for each of the following chemicals the foods and associated MRLs:
- The residue of abamectin in cranberry at 0.05 ppm.
- The residue of boscalid in Stone fruits [except cherries] at 3.5 ppm.
- The residue of clofentezine in Stone fruits [except cherries] at 0.1 ppm.
- The residue of cyhalothrin in pecan at 0.05 ppm.
- The residue of cypermethrin in Stone fruits [except cherries] at 1 ppm.
- The residue of difenoconazole in cranberry at 0.6 ppm and pecan at 0.03 ppm.
- The residue of diuron in date at T0.5 ppm.
- The residue of emamectin in pecan at 0.02 ppm.
- The residue of fluazifop-p-butyl in pecan at 0.05 ppm.
- The residue of flupyradifurone in stone fruits at 1.5 ppm.
- The residue of mandestrobin in dried grapes (raisins) at 7 ppm.
- The residue of mesotrione in pecan and plums (including prunes) at 0.01 ppm.
* indicates that the maximum residue limit is set at the limit of determination.
‘T’ indicates that the maximum residue limit is a temporary maximum residue limit.
