STMR‐RAC: supervised trials median residue in raw agricultural commodity; HR‐RAC: highest residue in raw agricultural commodity; CF: conversion factor.

(a)

Figures in the table are rounded to two digits, but the calculations are normally performed with the actually calculated values (which may contain more digits). To reproduce dietary burden calculations, the unrounded values need to be used.

(b)

Consumption figures in the EFSA PRIMo are expressed as meat. Since the a.s. is a fat‐soluble pesticides, STMR and HR residue values were calculated considering a 80%/90% muscle and 20%/10% fat content for mammal/poultry meat, respectively (FAO, 2016).
