MRL: maximum residue level.

a

Studies with residues in the RAC at or close to the LOQ were disregarded (unless concentration may occur).

b

In bold, samples analysed also for R014821. Residues were: 2 × 0.02 mg/kg in the RAC (WP 31 days), 2 × < 0.01 mg/kg in juice, 0.18 and 0.28 mg/kg in dry pomace, 0.05 and 0.08 mg/kg in wet pomace, < 0.01 and 0.01 mg/kg in marmalade (Netherlands, 2015).

c

Conversion factor for risk assessment in the processed commodity. To be established (TBE) upon decision on a residue definition for risk assessment for Po‐use in citrus fruits.

d

Based on residue trials compliant with the Po GAP (drenching, 50 g/hL; WP 0 days, including replicates) performed on oranges (n=15, ranging from 0.01 to 0.28) and mandarins (n=16, ranging from 0.01 to 0.25) (EFSA, 2017a,b) and considering the PFs derived during the peer review on oranges (0.08), lemons (0.04; 0.04; 0.05) and grapefruits (0.13) (EFSA, 2010).
