据欧盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,2020年2月21日,欧盟食品安全局就修订丙硫菌唑(prothioconazole)的最大残留限量发布了意见。
据了解,申请者Bayer SAS Crop Science和the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board向英国提交了两份份请求,要求修订丙硫菌唑的最大残留限量。经过评估,欧盟食品安全局认为在现有和预期使用条件下,长期和短期摄入丙硫菌唑残留不太可能对消费者健康构成风险。部分原文报道如下:
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicants Bayer SAS Crop Science and the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board submitted two requests to the competent national authority in the United Kingdom to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for prothioconazole in rapeseeds and celeriacs, respectively. The data submitted in support of the requests were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for these crops. The applicant Bayer SAS Crop Science additionally submitted a request to the competent national authority in the United Kingdom to evaluate the confirmatory data identified in the framework of the MRL review under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as not available. To address the data gaps, residue trials on carrots, onions, rapeseeds and wheat, and storage stability studies were submitted. The data gaps are considered fully addressed for the root and tuber vegetables, the oilseeds concerned and wheat. The data gaps have been partially addressed for onions, shallots, flowering brassica, Brussels sprouts, head cabbages, leeks, rye, barely and oat. The data gaps were not addressed for pulses and grass. based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the existing and intended uses of prothioconazole according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. For the triazole derivative metabolites (TDMs), only an indicative exposure assessment was performed considering celeriacs and rapeseeds; the results showed that the expected exposure to TDMs in these commodities is well below the toxicological reference values derived for the TDMs.
