Residue definition for enforcement (plants and animal products): Dicofol (sum of o,p’ and p,p’ isomers) F
0233010 Melons 0.2 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ
0233010 Cotton seeds 0.1 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ
0610000 Tea 20 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ
0700000 Hops 50 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ

1016040 Poultry, kidney 0.05 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ
1016050 Poultry, edible offals (others) 0.05 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ
1020000 Milk 0.1 LOQ

The existing EU MRL is not substantiated

The default LOQ for milk (0.02 mg/kg) leads to an exceedance of the ADI. Hence, risk managers may consider lowering the MRL to the lowest LOQ reported by the EURLs (0.01 mg/kg)

1030000 Birds eggs 0.05 LOQ The existing EU MRL is not substantiated. Hence, the MRL should be lowered to the LOQ

Abbreviations: ADI, acceptable daily intake; EURLs, European reference laboratories; LOQ, limit of quantification; MRL, maximum residue limit.
