*

Indicates that the MRL is set at the limit of analytical quantification (LOQ).

(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.
