MRL: maximum residue level; NEU: northern Europe.

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

^aCommodity code number according to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

^bExisting EU MRL and corresponding footnote on confirmatory data.

(F): Fat soluble.

(ft): The European Food Safety Authority identified some information on certain metabolites (compounds Ia, IV and gamma‐lactone) formed under sterilisation conditions as unavailable. When reviewing the MRL, the Commission will take into account the information referred to in the first sentence, if it is submitted by 6 July 2020, or, if that information is not submitted by that date, the lack of it.
