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 the calculations, the unrounded values need to be used.
Input values for the commodities which are not under consideration for the acute risk assessment are reported in grey.
The current MRL of 0.09 mg/kg applies to all cultivated fungi other than oyster mushrooms. For oyster mushrooms the MRL of 0.7 mg/kg applies (Reg. (EU) 2021/976).
The median value from FBO monitoring data derived in 2019 for oyster mushrooms is still considered as a worst case.
The highest values from FBO monitoring data remains the same as in 2019, after consideration of the most updated FBO monitoring data.
Conversion factor from monitoring to risk assessment of 1.7 based on the metabolism study in ruminants (EFSA, 2015).
