Processing factors (PF) for peeling and washing commodities with edible peel consumed raw for active substance/commodity combinations identified as risk drivers for CGA‐TCF

Active substance Systemic/contact pesticide Risk driver commodities with edible peel consumed raw Contribution to the MOET PFs washing PFs peeling
Bromide ion Systemic Tomatoes > 5% Not considered where the mode of action is reported to be systemic Not considered where the mode of action is reported to be systemic
Propineb Contact action with protective properties and long residual activity (IUPAC) Apples > 5%

DRAR Italy, 2016

Apple, washed fruit

Number of studies: 2

Propineb (determined as CS2) Proposed median processing factor (PF): < 0.37

Propineb (determined as PDA) Proposed PF: 0.46

PTU: Proposed PF: 0.46 (provisional). Data gap PTU residues where the samples are analysed within a time frame where PTU residues are demonstrated to be stable

JMPR Evaluation, 2004

Apple, washed fruit

Number of studies: 3

Propineb (determined as CS2) median processing factor (PF): < 0.4

Propineb (determined as PDA) median processing factor (PF): 0.4

PTU: Processing Factor could not be calculated as the residues were below the LOQ
