UNITS:
Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.

KEY:
* Level at or about the limit of determination.

FOOTNOTES:
(¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.

(²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.

(³) These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.

(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd. Whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply:

– if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk;

– if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

(5) Birds' eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).

(6) Scarole includes broad-leaf endive.

(¹³) Broccoli includes calabrese.

(48) Sum of captan and folpet.

(49) All fat.

(50) All other meat, edible offal and preparations of meat or edible offal.

(5¹) Milk except cream of milk.

(5²) Cream of milk.

UNITS:
Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.

KEY:
* Level at or about the limit of determination.

FOOTNOTES:
(¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.

(²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.

(³) These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.

(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd. Whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply:

    – if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk;

    – if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.

(5) Birds' eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).

(6) Scarole includes broad-leaf endive.

(8) Kidney except of poultry.

(9) All other meat, edible offal, fat and preparations of meat and edible offal.

(¹³) Broccoli includes calabrese.

(¹4) Meat of poultry.

(¹7) Except poultry.

(²6) Liver of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.

(²9) Meat of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of these Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3286) ("the 2005 Regulations") in order to transpose—

These Regulations substitute or insert—

Regulations 4(2)(c) and 7 correct errors in the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2083).

A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was prepared for the 2005 Regulations and provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments of the kind made by these Regulations. A consultation in 2003 indicated that compliance costs were virtually unchanged from those quoted in an RIA prepared in 1999. Copies of the RIA prepared in 2005 can be obtained from the Pesticides Safety Directorate, Room 308, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York, YO1 7PX or via the website www.pesticides.gov.uk. Copies have been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
