Abstract
EFSA received from the European Commission a mandate to provide its reasoned opinion on the joint review of maximum residue levels (MRLs) for fosetyl and phosphonates in or on food and feed according to Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substances potassium and disodium phosphonates. As fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonates degrade to phosphonic acid, it was considered appropriate to jointly review the residues of these three active substances. To assess the occurrence of fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered the conclusions derived in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as well as the European authorisations reported by Member States (including the supporting residues data) and the monitoring data from official control. Based on the assessment of the available data, MRL proposals were derived and a consumer risk assessment was carried out. Although no apparent risk to consumers was identified, some information required by the regulatory framework was missing. Hence, the consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers.

Summary
Fosetyl was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC on 1 May 2007 by Commission Directive 2006/64/CE and has been renewed under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 541/2011.
Potassium phosphonates was approved on 1 October 2013 by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 369/2013 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as implemented by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 540/2011 and 541/2011.
Disodium phosphonate was approved on 1 February 2014 by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 832/2013 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as implemented by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 540/2011 and 541/2011.
As potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate were approved after the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on 2 September 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is required to provide a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for these active substances in compliance with Article 12(1) of the aforementioned regulation.
As fosetyl was approved before the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on 2 September 2008, EFSA was required to provide a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for that active substance in compliance with Article 12(2) of the aforementioned regulation.
For the active substance fosetyl, EFSA has already issued in 2012 a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs but the recommendations from this opinion were not legally implemented.
As the basis for the MRL review, on 17 January 2020, EFSA initiated the collection of data for potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate. In a first step, Member States (MSs) and the UK were invited to submit by 17 February 2020 uses currently authorised for products containing fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonates and registered in third countries as products other than plant protection products as well as their national Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and the GAPs in non‐EU countries for which import tolerances (IT) are authorised in a standardised way, in the format of specific GAP forms, allowing the designated rapporteur Member State (RMS) France to identify the critical GAPs in the format of a specific GAP overview file. Subsequently, MSs and the UK were requested to provide residue data supporting the critical GAPs, within a period of 1 month, by 13 May 2020. On the basis of all the data submitted by MSs and by the EU Reference Laboratories for Pesticides Residues (EURLs), EFSA asked the RMS to complete the Pesticide Residues Overview File (PROFile) and to prepare a supporting evaluation report. The PROFile and the supporting evaluation reports, together with Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) calculations and updated GAP overview files were provided by the RMS to EFSA on 10 July and on 17 August 2020, for disodium and potassium phosphonates, respectively. Subsequently, EFSA performed the completeness check of these documents with the RMS. The outcome of this exercise including the clarifications provided by the RMS, if any, was compiled in the completeness check report.
As fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate degrade to phosphonic acid, on 14 April 2020, EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission to deliver, in accordance with Articles 12 and 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, a reasoned opinion on the joint review of MRLs for fosetyl and phosphonates.
To address the request from the European Commission, on 8 May 2020 EFSA initiated a consultation with MSs and the UK for fosetyl to verify that the GAPs reported in the former MRL review were still authorised in their respective countries and to notify EFSA about additional critical GAPs that were authorised after the completion of the MRL review for fosetyl by 1 July 2020. Subsequently, EFSA performed the completeness check of the additional data received. The outcome of this exercise including the clarifications provided by MSs and the UK, if any, was compiled in the completeness check report.
Based on the information provided by the RMS, MSs, the UK and the EURLs, and taking into account the conclusions derived by EFSA in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, EFSA prepared in April 2021 a draft reasoned opinion, which was circulated to MSs and EURLs for consultation via a written procedure. Comments received by 14 June 2021 were considered during the finalisation of this reasoned opinion. The following conclusions are derived.
Based on the metabolism studies conducted with fosetyl‐Al in primary and rotational crops, the metabolism of fosetyl‐Al, disodium and potassium phosphonates in plants was concluded to be similar in all crops and for all kinds of treatment. The standard processing conditions of pasteurisation, baking/brewing and boiling and sterilisation are not expected to modify the nature of residues in processed commodities.
According to the present mandate, EFSA is requested to derive MRLs and to carry out the risk assessment based on the residue definition for enforcement and risk assessment for all plants set as ‘phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid’. However, since significant residue levels of fosetyl compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid were also found in the supervised residue trials for several crops (blackberries, tomatoes and kales), EFSA proposed to apply the residue definition for risk assessment as ‘sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as phosphonic acid’ for all crops and uses reported for fosetyl. The residue definition for risk assessment set as ‘phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid’ remains valid for all the uses reported for potassium and disodium phosphonates.
For enforcement purposes, phosphonic acid is considered a sufficient marker for all authorised uses of fosetyl, potassium and disodium phosphonates.
Analytical methods for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition at the limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.1 mg/kg in all four main plant matrices and at the LOQ of 20 mg/kg in hops, herbal infusions and spices are available; validation details for herbal infusions and spices are nonetheless still desirable to support the authorised uses of fosetyl on herbal infusions from flowers and on spices (seed and fruits) and the use of potassium phosphonates on herbal infusions from leaves and herbs. According to the EURLs, LOQs of 0.1 mg/kg (in high water and acidic matrices) and 0.2 mg/kg (in high fat and dry/high starch content matrices) are achievable during routine analyses.
Considering that the derived MRLs should cover not only residues of phosphonic acid from the authorised uses of fosetyl and disodium and potassium phosphonates, but also residues from other products of agricultural relevance (e.g. fertilisers) and the existing codex maximum residue limits (CXLs), MRLs were derived comparing the residues originating from these three active substances, the existing CXLs and the monitoring data available. All commodities included in the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 were considered in the assessment, including the commodities for which no GAPs were notified. Nevertheless, a risk management decision should still be taken on whether MRLs should be proposed for commodities for which no GAPs are authorised or the authorised uses are not supported by data and on the period of their applicability.
Overall the available data are considered sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values for all commodities under evaluation, except for rose hips, mulberries, jambuls, American persimmon, guavas, breadfruits, durians, soursops, bamboo shoots, palm hearts, mosses and lichens, algae and prokaryotes organisms, oil palm kernels, oil palm fruits, kapok, herbal infusions (dry roots), cocoa beans, carobs, spices (bark, buds, flower stigma, aril) and sugar cane, where no monitoring data nor residue trials are available, no extrapolation is possible and therefore MRLs and risk assessment values could not be derived. The MRLs derived are expected to cover phosphonic acid residues from rotational crops.
It is underlined that the MRLs derived from the monitoring data on chamomile, tea, coffee beans, spices (roots and rhizome) are lower than the proposed LOQ of the available method for enforcement in complex matrices. Therefore, these MRLs should be considered tentative only and should be confirmed by an analytical method validated at a lower LOQ.
Fosetyl and potassium phosphonates are authorised for use on several crops that might be fed to livestock. Calculation of the livestock dietary burden was performed combining the residues originating from these two active substances and the monitoring data. The dietary burdens calculated for all groups of livestock were found to exceed the trigger value of 0.1 mg/kg dry matter (DM). Behaviour of residues was therefore assessed in all commodities of animal origin.
The metabolism of fosetyl‐Al residues was investigated in lactating goats only. Metabolism studies with potassium phosphonates were not available. However, based on the simple nature of the molecule and the extensive metabolism shown in the goat metabolism studies, additional studies were considered not necessary. Based on the available study, EFSA concludes that phosphonic acid can be considered as the most relevant component of the residues in commodities of animal origin for both enforcement and risk assessment. An analytical method using high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) was fully validated for the determination of phosphonic acid in milk with a LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg and in all animal tissues and eggs, with a LOQ of 0.05 mg/kg. According to the EURLs, LOQs of 0.05 and 0.2 mg/kg are achievable in milk and fat, respectively while it is assumed that an LOQ of 0.5 mg/kg should be achievable in liver, kidney and muscle. An analytical method based on liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was sufficiently validated for the determination of phosphonic acid in honey at the LOQ of 0.05 mg/kg.
Livestock feeding studies on poultry and dairy cows were used to derive MRL and risk assessment values in milk, eggs and tissues. Since extrapolation from ruminants to pigs is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in pigs. As done for the plant commodities, MRLs derived from the livestock feeding studies were compared with the existing CXLs and with the monitoring data and the highest value was selected. It is underlined that all the MRLs derived from the feeding studies are higher compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid from the monitoring data in milk, eggs and tissues. Therefore, for all livestock commodities, the MRLs are based on the livestock feeding studies. Nevertheless, considering that potatoes were the main contributor to the livestock exposure and the processing factors for potatoes process waste and dried pulp used to calculate the dietary burdens were not fully supported by data, the derived MRLs for livestock should be considered tentative only. For honey, the MRL was derived on the basis of the existing monitoring data.
A comprehensive consumer risk assessment was performed combining information from supervised residue trials with these three active substances and the monitoring data. The existing CXLs were also considered. For those commodities where data were insufficient to derive a MRL, EFSA considered the existing EU MRL recalculated as phosphonic acid as an indicative calculation.
EFSA considered for the risk assessment the currently applicable acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 2.25 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day for phosphonic acid. The outcome of the chronic risk assessment based on the ADI proposed by the peer review of 1 mg/kg bw per day for phosphonic acid, which has not yet been endorsed by risk managers, was also reported. An acute reference dose (ARfD) was not deemed necessary for phosphonic acid and therefore an acute risk assessment was not performed.
When considering the currently applicable ADI of 2.25 mg/kg bw per day, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 36% of the ADI.
When considering the ADI of 1 mg/kg bw per day proposed by the peer review which has not yet been endorsed by risk managers, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 80% of the ADI.
In both scenarios, the main contributors to the consumer exposure were apples, potatoes and wheat for which MRLs and risk assessment values were derived from the authorised uses as plant protection products.
Background
Regulation (EC) No 396/20051 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Regulation’) establishes the rules governing the setting and the review of pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs) at European level. Article 12(1) of that Regulation stipulates that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) shall provide, within 12 months from the date of the inclusion or non‐inclusion of an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC2 a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for that active substance.
Article 12(2) of Regulation 396/2005 stipulates that EFSA shall provide by 1 September 2009 a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs for all active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC2 before 2 September 2008.
Fosetyl was included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC on 1 May 2007 by means of Commission Directive 2006/64/CE3 and has been deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/20094, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/20115, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 541/20116. Therefore, EFSA initiated the review of all existing MRLs for that active substance. Fosetyl was then evaluated for renewal of approval in the framework of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and EFSA published its conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance fosetyl (EFSA, 2018e) and concluded on a lower acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 1 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day.
Potassium phosphonates was approved on 1 October 2013 by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 369/20137 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 540/2011.
Disodium phosphonate was approved on 1 February 2014 by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 832/20138 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 540/2011.
By way of background information, in the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC potassium and disodium phosphonates were evaluated by France, designated as rapporteur Member State (RMS). Subsequently, peer reviews on the initial evaluations of the RMS were conducted by EFSA, leading to the conclusions as set out in the EFSA scientific outputs (EFSA, 2012b, 2013).
After the approval of these active substances, EFSA published several outputs on the modifications of the existing MRLs, including the assessment of all existing MRLs for fosetyl in compliance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (EFSA, 2009, 2012a,c, 2015, 2018b,f, 2019a, 2020a) and a statement on the dietary risk assessment for proposed temporary maximum residue levels (t‐MRLs) for fosetyl‐Al in certain crops (EFSA, 2014).
As fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate degrade to phosphonic acid, it was considered appropriate to jointly review the residues of these three active substances. Moreover, besides their use as active substances in plant protection products, phosphonates are also ingredients to other products of agricultural relevance (e.g. fertilisers, plant strengtheners, manure, soil amendments). It can be reasonably assumed that treatment of plants with such products could lead to the detection of phosphonic acid residues in pertinent agricultural commodities. Therefore, EFSA)received a mandate from the European Commission to deliver, in accordance with Articles 12 and 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, a reasoned opinion on the joint review of MRLs for fosetyl and phosphonates.
As the basis for the MRL review for potassium and disodium phosphonates, on 17 January 2020 EFSA initiated the collection of data for these active substances. In a first step, Member States (MSs) and the UK9 were invited to submit by 17 February 2020 uses currently authorised for products containing fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonates and registered in third countries as products other than plant protection products as well as their Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) that are authorised nationally and the GAPs in non‐EU countries for which import tolerances (IT) are authorised, in a standardised way, in the format of specific GAP forms. In the framework of this consultation 20 MSs provided feedback on their national authorisations of potassium phosphonates and 14 MSs provided feedback on their national authorisations of disodium phosphonate. Based on the GAP data submitted, the designated RMS France was asked to identify the critical GAPs to be further considered in the assessment, in the format of specific GAP overview files. Subsequently, in a second step, MSs and the UK were requested to provide residue data supporting the critical GAPs by 13 May 2020.
On the basis of all the data on potassium and disodium phosphonates submitted by MSs and the EU Reference Laboratories for Pesticides Residues (EURLs), EFSA asked France to complete the PROFiles and to prepare supporting evaluation reports. The PROFiles and the supporting evaluation reports, together with the Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) calculations and an updated GAP overview file, were submitted to EFSA on 10 July and on 17 August 2020, for disodium and potassium phosphonates, respectively. Subsequently, EFSA performed the completeness check of these documents with the RMS. The outcome of this exercise including the clarifications provided by the RMS, if any, was compiled in the completeness check reports.
To address the request from the European Commission received in April 2020, on 8 May 2020 EFSA initiated a consultation with MSs and the UK for fosetyl to verify that the GAPs reported in the former MRL review were still authorised in their respective countries and to notify EFSA about additional critical GAPs that were authorised after the completion of the MRL review for fosetyl by 1 July 2020. Subsequently, EFSA performed the completeness check of the additional data received. The outcome of this exercise including the clarifications provided by MSs and the UK, if any, was compiled in the completeness check report.
Considering all the available information and taking into account the MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (i.e. codex maximum residue limit; CXLs), EFSA prepared in April 2021 a draft reasoned opinion, which was circulated to MSs and EURLs for commenting via a written procedure. All comments received by 14 June 2021 were considered by EFSA during the finalisation of the reasoned opinion.
The evaluation reports submitted by the RMS (France, 2020a,b,c), taking into account also the information provided by MSs and the UK during the collection of data, the evaluation reports submitted by the MSs during the consultation on fosetyl (Belgium, 2020; Bulgaria, 2020; Czech Republic, 2020; Finland, 2020; Germany, 2020; Greece, 2020; Italy, 2020a,b,c; Netherlands, 2020; Portugal, 2020; Spain, 2020) and the EURLs report on analytical methods (EURLs, 2020) are considered as main supporting documents to this reasoned opinion and, thus, made publicly available.
In addition, further supporting documents to this reasoned opinion are the completeness check reports (EFSA, 2021a,b,c) and the Member States consultation report (EFSA, 2021d). These reports are developed to address all issues raised in the course of the review, from the initial completeness check to the reasoned opinion. Furthermore, the exposure calculations for all crops reported in the framework of this review performed using the EFSA Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) and the PROFiles as well as the GAP overview files listing all authorised uses are key supporting documents and made publicly available as background documents to this reasoned opinion. A screenshot of the report sheet of the PRIMo is presented in Appendix C.

The active substance and its use pattern
Fosetyl is the ISO common name for ethyl hydrogen phosphonate (IUPAC). In formulated plant protection products, the variant fosetyl aluminium (fosetyl‐Al: aluminium tris‐O‐ethylphosphonate) is used.
The International Organization for Standardization does not require a common name for disodium phosphonate (IUPAC).
The International Organisation for Standardisation does not require common names for potassium phosphonates: potassium hydrogen phosphonate and dipotassium phosphonate (IUPAC).
The chemical structure of these active substances and their main metabolites are reported in Appendix F.
The EU MRLs for these active substances referring to Fosetyl‐Al (sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as fosetyl) are established in Annexes IIIA of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) for fosetyl were also established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). An overview of the MRL changes that occurred since the entry into force of the Regulation mentioned above is provided below (Table 1).

1. Residues in plants
1.1. Nature of residues and methods of analysis in plants
1.1.1. Nature of residues in primary crops
The metabolism of fosetyl‐Al in primary crops was investigated upon foliar application on fruit crops (citrus, apples, tomatoes), and on apples and vine leaves, as well as by dipping followed by a spray treatment on pineapples using 14C fosetyl‐Al and was assessed in the framework of the peer review for the renewal (EFSA, 2018e). Most of the radioactive residues remained on the surface of the fruit or leaves and penetration and translocation to the untreated parts of the plants was limited. The major degradation pathway of fosetyl‐Al in fruit crops was shown to be the hydrolytic cleavage of the ethyl ester moiety of fosetyl yielding the formation of ethanol and phosphonic acid as the main identified metabolites of the residues in all crops. Ethanol was subsequently metabolised and incorporated into natural constituents of the plants (d‐glucose, cellulose, lignin, starch, fatty acids). Although the metabolic pattern of fosetyl‐Al was investigated in fruit crops only, the experts were of the opinion that due to the elementary nature of fosetyl‐Al, it is expected that the metabolic pattern should be similar in all crops categories and mode of application. Therefore, the peer review concluded that general residue definitions for monitoring and risk assessment can be derived.
No metabolism studies on potassium phosphonates are available. Nevertheless, during the peer review it was concluded that, given the elementary nature of potassium phosphonates and according to available data from public literature, the main metabolite of potassium phosphonates in plants is phosphonic acid (EFSA, 2012b).
The metabolism of disodium phosphonate in the fruit crop group (tomatoes) was investigated after soaking the roots of tomato plantlets in a phosphonic acid solution containing 3 mmol/L tritiated phosphonate (3HNa2PO3), for 2 min to 2 h (France, 2009). The study was assessed in the framework of the peer review (EFSA, 2013). In addition to this, studies from public scientific literature were also submitted. Overall, the results of the studies indicated that phosphonate is rapidly absorbed, vertically translocated into different plants parts and accumulated in sink organs like fruits or roots. The peer review concluded that, given the elementary nature of disodium phosphonate, only transformation into phosphonic acid is expected in plants.
Based on the available studies and considering the elementary nature of the active substances under assessment, the metabolic pathway of fosetyl, disodium and potassium phosphonates is expected to be similar in all crops, with phosphonic acid being the main compound present in the treated crops.
1.1.2. Nature of residues in rotational crops
Fosetyl‐Al, disodium phosphonates and potassium phosphonates are authorised on crops that may be grown in rotation. Fosetyl‐Al and its metabolite ethanol exhibited very low persistence in soil (DT90: 0.04–0.2 days and DT90: 0.28–0.58 days, respectively). During the peer review of potassium phosphonates, studies investigating the rate of degradation in soil of potassium and disodium phosphonates were not available. Nevertheless, it was qualitatively demonstrated that disodium and potassium phosphonates are mainly converted to phosphonic acid in the soil (EFSA, 2012b, 2013). According to the data assessed during the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl‐Al, phosphonic acid, the common metabolite of the three active substances under assessment, showed moderate to high persistence (DT90: 91 to > 1,000 days) (EFSA, 2018e). Therefore further investigation on the nature and magnitude of residues in rotational crops is required.
Since fosetyl‐Al was shown to degrade in soil to its metabolite, phosphonic acid, no metabolism study has been performed with fosetyl‐Al and a confined rotational crop study with unlabelled phosphonic acid was assessed during the peer review for the renewal of approval of fosetyl to investigate the potential uptake of phosphonic acid residues by the rotational crops (EFSA, 2018e; France, 2018a). Phosphonic acid was applied at a concentration of 4.9 mg a.s./kg onto bare soil; this would correspond to a concentration of 14.7 kg/ha11 of phosphonic acid considering 20 cm soil depth. Leafy crops (lettuces), roots crops (radishes) and cereals (barley grain and straw) were planted 30 days after treatment (DAT). An additional experiment was made with radish sown 6 months after treatment of the soil. In the soil, no significant decline of phosphonic acid is observed during the ageing period of one month following treatment. This study can be considered as valid as under aerobic conditions, the soil degradation of fosetyl‐Al appears to proceed exclusively through the hydrolysis of the ethyl ester bond with the formation of phosphonic acid and ethanol which is subsequently degraded into CO2 followed by incorporation in the soil organic matter as bound residues. Phosphonic acid was therefore identified as the main metabolite of the residues in rotational crops following plant uptake from soil and the peer review agreed to set the same residue definition as for primary crops (EFSA, 2018e).
It is noted that the submitted metabolism study is highly underdosed compared to the maximum total amount of fosetyl‐Al (up to 80 kg/ha fosetyl corresponding to 60 kg phosphonic acid equivalents/ha12) which can be applied during a growing season considering the EU authorised uses (see Appendix A). However and despite this shortcoming, a different metabolic pattern of fosetyl‐Al in rotational crops is not expected and a new confined rotational crops metabolism study adequately dosed considering the EU authorised uses is not deemed necessary.
No study on nature of residue in rotational crops is available for disodium and potassium phosphonates. Nevertheless, as highlighted for primary crops, considering the elementary nature of the active substances under assessment, the metabolic pathway of fosetyl, disodium and potassium phosphonates is expected to be similar also in rotational crops, with phosphonic acid being the main compound present in the treated soil and in the rotated crops.
1.1.3. Nature of residues in processed commodities
A study investigating the nature of residues in processed commodities was assessed in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl‐Al (EFSA, 2018e; France, 2018a). The hydrolysis of respectively fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid was investigated using non‐radiolabelled test substances and simulating representative hydrolytic conditions for pasteurisation (20 min at 90°C, pH 4), boiling/brewing/baking (60 min at 100°C, pH 5) and sterilisation (20 min at 120°C, pH 6). Fosetyl‐Al and its metabolite phosphonic acid were found to be stable to hydrolysis under standard conditions of pasteurisation, baking/brewing/boiling and sterilisation (EFSA, 2018e; France, 2018a).
No standard hydrolysis studies are available on disodium and potassium phosphonates. During the peer review of disodium phosphonates, a case was made that the sole expected degradation pathway would be oxidation, which is known to be a microbial‐mediated degradation process irrelevant to food processing under heat or extreme pH conditions. Hence, the only expected behaviour of phosphonates under hydrolysis conditions simulating industrial or household processing would be a change in the conversion rate to phosphonic acid (EFSA, 2013). Given the nature of these active substances, considering that they are converted to phosphonic acid and the studies available in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of fosetyl, it is concluded that the nature of the residues in processed commodities is sufficiently elucidated and no additional studies are required.
1.1.4. Methods of analysis in plants
In the framework of the review of the existing MRLs for fosetyl according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, an HPLC–MS/MS method was provided, which was validated for the determination of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg fosetyl‐Al/kg and 0.1 mg phosphonic acid/kg in high water content (lettuce and cucumber), high oil content (avocado), acidic commodities (oranges, grapes) and dry/high starch commodities (wheat). Under the same framework an analytical method using gas chromatography with flame photometric detector (GC‐FPD) was considered sufficiently validated for the determination of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid in hops with an LOQ of 2 mg fosetyl‐Al/kg and 20 mg phosphonic acid/kg (EFSA, 2012a).
In the context of the renewal of the approval of the active substance fosetyl under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, various methods based on liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) were proposed for enforcement of fosetyl and phosphonic acid in the different matrices. The proposed methods determine fosetyl and phosphonic acid individually, with limits of quantification (LOQs) expressed as fosetyl‐aluminium and phosphonic acid, respectively. The quick method for the analysis of numerous highly polar pesticides in foods of plant origin (Quick Polar Pesticides Method –QuPPe) with LC–MS/MS can be used for the determination of fosetyl in all commodity groups with a LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg expressed as fosetyl aluminium and with LOQs for phosphonic acid of 0.1 mg/kg in high water, dry/high starch and acidic commodities and of 0.5 mg/kg in high oil content commodities; however, no independent laboratory validation (ILV) is available (EFSA, 2018e).
Disodium and potassium phosphonates cannot be distinguished analytically. Both substances are determined as phosphonate anion and expressed as phosphonic acid.
Within the context of the peer review of disodium phosphonates, a hyphenated analytical method based on high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was validated for the determination of phosphonate (expressed as phosphonic acid) in high acid content (grape), high water content (apple), high oil content (oilseed rape) and dry/high starch commodities (wheat grain), with an LOQ of 0.5, 1, 2 and 7.5 mg/kg for high acid, high water, high oil and dry/high starch commodities, respectively (EFSA, 2013; France, 2013).
In the framework of the peer review of potassium phosphonate, an HPLC–MS/MS method for the determination of phosphonate (expressed as phosphonic acid) was validated in high acid content (wine grapes), high water content (lettuce), high oil content (rapeseed) and dry/high starch commodities (barley grain), with an LOQ of 0.5 mg/kg for the four matrix groups. In addition, the method was validated in fresh pomace and wine (processed commodities), with the same LOQ. The ILV was available for high acid and high water content commodities; but since the principle of the method is the same for the four matrix groups, the ILV was deemed acceptable for the other two (EFSA, 2012b).
According to the information provided by the EURLs, during routine analysis phosphonates (expressed as phosphonic acid) can be enforced with an LOQ of 0.1 mg/kg in high water content and high acid content commodities and with an LOQ of 0.2 mg/kg in high oil content and dry/high starch commodities by means of a single residue method (QuPPe), using LC–MS/MS (EURLs, 2020).
Hence based on all analytical methods available it is concluded that fosetyl can be enforced in food of plant origin with an LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg in high water content, high oil content, acidic and dry/high starch commodities and with an LOQ of 2 mg/kg in hops while phosphonic acid can be enforced in food of plant origin with an LOQ of 0.1 mg/kg in high water content, high oil content, acidic and dry/high starch commodities and with an LOQ of 20 mg/kg in hops. Analytical methods for the determination of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid in herbal infusions and spices are not available. These matrices are considered difficult to analyse and thus specific validation data should be provided. However, since a GC‐FPD method was validated in hops, a matrix also difficult to analyse, EFSA considers this method also applicable for the determination of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid in herbal infusions and spices with the same LOQ as in hops, i.e. 2 mg fosetyl‐Al/kg and 20 mg phosphonic acid/kg. Validation details for herbal infusions and spices are nonetheless still desirable to support the authorised uses of fosetyl on herbal infusions from flowers and on spices (seed and fruits) and the uses of potassium phosphonates on herbal infusions from leaves and herbs.
1.1.5. Stability of residues in plants
The storage stability of the sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts expressed as phosphonic acid was investigated in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl (EFSA, 2018e) and these tests demonstrated acceptable storage stability in high water content (cucumbers, cabbages, lettuces, tomatoes), in high acid content (grapes, oranges) and in high starch content (potatoes) matrices for up to 25 months and in high oil content commodities (avocados) for up to 29 months. In the same framework, the storage stability of phosphonic acid was also investigated. In high water content, high acid content, high oil content matrices, dry/high starch content commodities, the available studies demonstrated acceptable storage stability for phosphonic acid for a period of 24–25 months when stored at –18 to –20°C (EFSA, 2018e; France, 2018a).
The storage stability of phosphonic acid in high acid content (grape) commodities was investigated in the framework of the peer review of disodium phosphonate (EFSA, 2013; France, 2013). Residues were demonstrated to be stable for 12 months when stored at –20°C. Within the context of the peer review of potassium phosphonates, the storage stability of phosphonic acid was studied in high water content (potato, cucumber and cabbage) and high acid content (grape) commodities. Phosphonate residues were found to be stable for 25 months when stored at –18°C in both, high water and high acid content commodities.
It is noted that no specific study is available for the storage stability in complex matrices. However, as storage stability was investigated and demonstrated in the four main plant matrices, the most limiting storage stability conditions demonstrated for general matrices are assumed to be applicable to complex matrices as well.
1.1.6. Proposed residue definitions
The metabolism of fosetyl‐Al, disodium and potassium phosphonates is expected to be similar in all crops and for all types of application. The metabolism in rotational crops is similar to the metabolism observed in primary crops and the processing is not expected to modify the nature of residues.
In the framework of the renewal of the approval of fosetyl‐Al, the residue definition for monitoring and risk assessment was set as the ‘sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as phosphonic acid’ (EFSA, 2018e). In the framework of the peer review of disodium and potassium phosphonates, the residue definition was proposed as phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid (EFSA, 2012b, 2013).
According to the present mandate, EFSA is requested to derive MRLs and to carry out the risk assessment based on the residue definition for enforcement and risk assessment for all plants set as ‘phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid’. However and since significant residue levels of fosetyl compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid were also found in the supervised residue trials for several crops (blackberries, tomatoes and kales), EFSA proposed to apply the residue definition for risk assessment as ‘sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as phosphonic acid’ in line with the conclusion of the peer review for the renewal of fosetyl for all categories of crops and uses reported for fosetyl. For blackberries, tomatoes and kales, a conversion factor for monitoring to risk assessment was derived based on the available trials analysing fosetyl and phosphonic acid residues, individually. For all the other uses on fosetyl, and as can be seen from the residue trials, fosetyl occurred at negligible levels compared to phosphonic acid in the crops at harvest (either at or below the LOQ of the method or residues accounting for less than 15% of the phosphonic acid residues), and a conversion factor for risk assessment of 1 was derived. It is highlighted that in case of any future authorisation for fosetyl, the residues should be analysed for fosetyl and phosphonic acid residues to comply with the proposed residue definition for risk assessment. The residue definition for risk assessment set as ‘phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid’ remains valid for residues resulting from all the uses on potassium and disodium phosphonates.
For enforcement purposes, phosphonic acid is considered a sufficient marker for all authorised uses of fosetyl, potassium and disodium phosphonates.
Analytical methods for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition at the LOQ of 0.1 mg/kg in all four main plant matrices and at the LOQ of 20 mg/kg in hops, herbal infusions and spices are available (EFSA, 2012b); validation details for herbal infusions and species are nonetheless still desirable to support the authorised uses of fosetyl on herbal infusions from flowers and on spices (seed and fruits) and the uses of potassium phosphonates on herbal infusions from leaves and herbs. According to the EURLs, LOQs of 0.1 mg/kg (in high water and acidic matrices) and 0.2 mg/kg (in high fat and dry/high starch content matrices) are achievable in routine analyses (EURLs, 2020).
It is underlined that the MRLs derived from the monitoring data on chamomile, tea, coffee beans, spices (roots and rhizome) are lower than the validated LOQ of the available method for enforcement in complex matrices (see Appendix B.1.2.6). Therefore an analytical method validated at a lower LOQ is still required to confirm these MRLs.
In line with the terms of reference of the mandate, EFSA verified whether it was appropriate to include phosphoric acid in the assessment. It is acknowledged that phosphoric acid (which is converted to phosphate) might be released by fertilisers; however considering that:
Phosphoric acid is a precursor to phosphates, but not to phosphonic acid and its salts.
Based on metabolism studies on fosetyl and scientific publications on potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonates, the main compound expected from the use of these three active substances will be phosphonic acid which is not expected to be converted to phosphoric acid.
The use of plant protection products or fertilisers containing fosetyl, potassium or disodium phosphonates is not expected to result in phosphoric acid. Moreover enforcement methods allowing to analyse for phosphonic and phosphoric acid separately are available.
Consequently, EFSA concluded that it is not appropriate to include phosphoric acid in the assessment.
1.2. Magnitude of residues in plants
1.2.1. Magnitude of residues in primary crops
To assess the magnitude of fosetyl residues resulting from the reported GAPs, EFSA considered all residue trials reported by the Member States during the data call launched in the framework of this article 43 assessment (Belgium, 2020; Bulgaria, 2020; Czech Republic, 2020, Finland, 2020, France, 2020a; Germany, 2020; Greece, 2020; Italy, 2020a,b,c; Netherlands, 2020; Portugal, 2020; Spain, 2020) as well as the residue trials evaluated in the framework of previous MRL applications, including the MRL review of fosetyl under Article 12 (EFSA, 2009, 2012a,c, 2015; Germany, 2015). Storage conditions for some of the residue trials considered in this framework were not reported (6 out of the 11 trials available to support the northern outdoor GAP on wine grapes; 8 out of the 16 trials available to support the southern outdoor GAP on tomatoes; 8 out of the 16 trials available to support the northern outdoor GAP for salad plants and 9 out of the 18 trials available to support the southern outdoor GAP on salad plants). Nevertheless, considering that storage stability in the main four matrices was demonstrated for up to 25 months and the results from these trials are in the same range as the residue values supported by acceptable storage stability data, decline of residues during storage of the trial samples is not expected and additional information on the storage conditions is only desirable.
The number of residue trials and extrapolations were evaluated in accordance with the European guidelines on comparability, extrapolation, group tolerances and data requirements for setting MRLs (European Commission, 2017).
Residue trials are not available or not sufficient to support the authorisations on chestnuts, sweet peppers/bell peppers, leeks, dry peas and herbal infusions from flowers. Therefore, MRL and risk assessment values could not be derived for these crops and the following data gaps were identified:
Chestnuts: four trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are required;
Sweet peppers/bell peppers: eight trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and eight trials compliant with the indoor GAP are required;
Leeks: four trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are required;
Peas, dry: eight trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are required;
Herbal infusions from flowers: three additional trials on any representative of the subgroup of herbal infusions from flowers and compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are required.
For all other crops, available residue trials are sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values, taking note of the following considerations:
Citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins): residue trials supporting the indoor (post‐harvest) use were all performed on mandarins. According to the extrapolation rules, four additional residue trials on oranges are in principle required to support the indoor (post‐harvest) use. However considering that the residue levels in oranges are expected to be lower compared to mandarins and the southern European Union (SEU) outdoor GAP is by far more critical, these trials can be considered as desirable only;
Table grapes: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the southern outdoor GAP, four trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are still required;
Blackberries: although a tentative MRL can be derived from the northern outdoor GAP, one trial compliant with the northern outdoor GAP is still required;
Raspberries (red and yellow): although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the indoor GAP, four trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are still required;
Cucumbers, gherkins and courgettes: Trials supporting the northern outdoor GAP overdosed (performed at 4.5 kg/ha instead of 3.2 kg/ha). Nevertheless, considering that the indoor GAP is clearly more critical, no additional trials are required;
Melons (with extrapolation to pumpkins, watermelons): Although tentative MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the southern outdoor data, two additional trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and eight trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are required;
Baby leaf crops (including brassica species): Trials supporting the southern outdoor GAP were performed according to a more critical GAP (4 × 2.4 instead of 2 × 1.87 kg/ha). Nevertheless, considering that the indoor GAP is clearly more critical, no additional trials are required;
Witloof/Belgian endives: trials supporting the indoor GAP on this crop were all overdosed (performed at 2 × 60 g a.s./hL instead of 1 × 12.4 g a.s./hL). Nevertheless, since the northern outdoor GAP is clearly more critical, additional indoor trials are not required;
Herbs and edible flowers: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the indoor GAP, two additional trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are still required;
Asparagus: Considering that the application is done by drenching after seedling, residues are not expected in the consumable parts. Nevertheless, at least two trials compliant with the indoor GAP (drenching) are required to demonstrate that residues will remain below the LOQ. Mean whilst an MRL of 0.1* mg/kg is derived on a tentative basis.
All the requested residue trials should be conducted in accordance with the proposed residue definitions for monitoring and risk assessment for fosetyl (see Section 1.1.6).
To assess the magnitude residues resulting from the use of potassium phosphonates according to the reported GAPs, EFSA considered all residue trials reported by the RMS in its evaluation report (France, 2020c) as well as the residue trials evaluated in the framework of previous MRL applications (EFSA, 2018b,f, 2019a, 2020a,b,c, 2021f). All residue trial samples considered in this framework were stored in compliance with the conditions for which storage stability of residues was demonstrated. Decline of residues during storage of the trial samples is therefore not expected.
The number of residue trials and extrapolations were evaluated in accordance with the European guidelines on comparability, extrapolation, group tolerances and data requirements for setting MRLs (European Commission, 2017).
Residue trials are not available or not sufficient to support the authorisations on apricots, cherries, plums, cranberries, rose hips, mulberries, azaroles, kaki, cucurbits with edible and inedible peel, cresses, land cresses, red mustards and baby leaf crops, witloof. Therefore, MRL and risk assessment values could not be derived for these crops and the following data gaps were identified:
Apricots: eight residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP;
Cherries: four residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP;
Plums: eight residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP;
Cranberries, rose hips, mulberries, azaroles: two additional trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and four residue trials compliant with indoor GAP;
Kaki: two additional trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP;
Cucurbits with edible peel: eight residue trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP, eight residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and eight residue trials compliant with the indoor GAP;
Cucurbits with inedible peel: eight residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and eight residue trials compliant with the indoor GAP;
Cresses, land cresses, red mustards and baby leaf crops: four residue trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP and four residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP;
Witloof: four residue trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP and four residue trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP.
For all other crops, available residue trials are sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL and risk assessment values, taking note of the following considerations:
Grapefruits and oranges: Although tentative MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from southern trials performed with three instead of two applications, eight trials on oranges and/or grapefruits compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required;
Pome fruits: Although tentative MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the reduced data set supporting the southern outdoor GAP, four additional trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required;
Strawberries: Although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the indoor data, eight trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required;
Dewberries: Although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the southern data, four trials compliant with the indoor GAP are still required;
Currants, blueberries, gooseberries: Although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the northern and indoor data, two additional trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required;
Elderberries: Although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the northern data, two additional trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP and four trials compliant with the indoor GAP are still required;
Pineapples: Although tentative MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from overdosed southern trials, four trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required;
Onions: Although tentative MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the reduced data set supporting the northern outdoor GAP, four additional trials compliant with the northern outdoor GAP are still required;
Tomatoes and aubergines: A reduced number of trials performed according to a more critical GAP is available to support the southern outdoor use. Nevertheless, considering that the indoor GAP is clearly more critical, no additional trials are required to support the southern outdoor GAP;
Sweet peppers: Although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the indoor data, eight trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required;
Lettuces: although tentative MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the reduced number of trials supporting the indoor GAP, four additional trials compliant with the indoor GAP and one additional trial compliant with the northern outdoor GAP, are still required;
Escaroles and Roman rocket: although MRL and risk assessment values can be derived from the northern data, four trials compliant with the southern outdoor GAP are still required.
To assess the magnitude residues resulting from the use of disodium phosphonate according to the reported GAPs, EFSA considered all residue trials reported by the RMS in its evaluation report (France, 2020b) as well as the residue trials evaluated in the framework of the peer review (France, 2009; EFSA, 2013). All residue trial samples considered in this framework were stored in compliance with the conditions for which storage stability of residues was demonstrated. Decline of residues during storage of the trial samples is therefore not expected.
The number of residue trials and extrapolations were evaluated in accordance with the European guidelines on comparability, extrapolation, group tolerances and data requirements for setting MRLs (European Commission, 2017).
For all crops under evaluation (table and wine grapes, and horseradishes), available residue trials are sufficient to derive MRL and risk assessment values.
1.2.2. Residue levels of phosphonic acid from other sources
In order to cover the residues of phosphonic acid from other sources in line with the terms of reference of the mandate, EFSA extracted the monitoring data for phosphonic acid obtained from the 2015–2018 EU MS control programmes. It is noted that samples were available from a limited number of reporting countries – 11 including UK. Samples from both conventional and organic farming were available for 164 unprocessed plant commodities. Surveillance and enforcement samples (i.e. samples strategies ST10A, ST20A and ST30A; EFSA, 2018c) from EU, third countries and unknown origin were retained in the assessment. Enforcement samples (where a suspect sampling or targeted strategy was applied) were not disregarded based on the assumption that they may also be placed on the EU market.
Overall, 20,724 individual analytical results reported as (a) fosetyl‐Al – sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as fosetyl (recalculated in this assessment as phosphonic acid11), and (b) phosphonic acid, were retained in the assessment. To comply with the proposed residue definition, results reported as fosetyl only (phosphonic acid was not measured) were disregarded. Residues at or above the LOQs of the reporting laboratory were observed in a total of 5,132 samples of plant commodities, which represents the 25% of the analysed samples retained in this assessment. Out of these 5,132 samples, 103 (2%) were reported by MSs as exceeding the current MRL and 41 (0.8%) as non‐compliant, i.e. samples exceeding the MRL after taking the measurement uncertainty into account. A detailed summary of the relevant monitoring data considered in the assessment is available in Annex A. This table is limited to the commodities for which the MRL is based on the monitoring data and include the calculation of different percentiles (90th, 95th, 97.5th, 99th), the average and highest reported value for each commodity.
As per point 6.7.2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/201313, when MRLs may be proposed on the basis on monitoring data, the proposal shall cover the 95th percentile (P95) of the data population at the 95% confidence interval (CI95).14 To satisfy this requirement, a minimum of 59 residue results are required per food commodity (FAO, 2016). However, Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 does not specify whether reported results below the LOQ of the reporting laboratory should be considered in the calculation. Since the aim of this assessment is to derive MRLs covering the residues originating from all possible sources, it was deemed appropriate to also include in the calculation of P95 and CI95 monitoring samples with residue results below LOQ, as they may also be placed on the market. These samples were included in the calculation by imputing the LOQ of the reporting laboratory (upper bound scenario).
Therefore, when monitoring data were used to derive MRL proposals, the following rules were applied:
For those commodities meeting the requirement of a minimum of 59 samples, the CI95 approach was applied (noting the above considerations for results below LOQ) for MRL proposal and risk assessment values. For those for which the CI95 approach was not applicable, the highest reported value of the monitoring data (max MoD) was tentatively used for MRL proposals and risk assessment values.
1.2.3. Magnitude of residues in rotational crops
According to the confined rotational crops metabolism study evaluated in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of fosetyl, when phosphonic acid is applied to bare soil at a dose rate of 4.9 mg a.s./kg (equivalent to 14.7 kg phosphonic acid/ha), residues are taken up from the soil by the plant. Actually, based on the results of this study, residue concentrations of phosphonic acid accounted for 0.35 and 0.8 mg eq/kg in radish tops and roots, respectively, 0.76 mg eq/kg in lettuce leaves and 0.14 and 0.42 mg eq/kg in barley grain and straw, respectively at 30‐day plant‐back interval (PBI). Residues were not analysed at longer PBI but phosphonic acid residues in radish tops and roots planted 6 months after soil treatment were recovered at a level below 0.1 mg/kg.
Rotational crops field trials were provided and assessed in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl (EFSA, 2018e; France, 2018a). These field trials were conducted on lettuces, carrots and cereals (winter wheat and barley) following treatment of lettuces as a target crop with fosetyl at a total dose rate of 2.3 kg a.s./ha (corresponding to 1.73 kg phosphonic acid equivalents/ha) at PBI of 30 days. Within 7 days after the last application, the primary crop lettuce was destroyed and the remaining plant parts were incorporated into the soil. Residues of fosetyl and phosphonic acid were shown to be below the LOQ of the method in all rotational crops edible parts at the 30‐day PBI, except in wheat grain (0.21 mg/kg for phosphonic acid). The sample storage conditions of these field trials were covered by acceptable storage stability data for phosphonic acid. Studies investigating the magnitude of residues in rotational crops are not available for potassium and disodium phosphonates.
It should, however, be highlighted that these rotational crops field trials conducted with fosetyl were under dosed compared to the critical GAPs that are currently authorised for fosetyl (up to 80 kg/ha fosetyl corresponding to 60 kg phosphonic acid equivalents/ha), potassium phosphonates (up to 13 kg/ha corresponding to 8.5 kg phosphonic acid equivalents/ha) and disodium phosphonates (up to 4 kg/ha corresponding to 2.6 kg phosphonic acid equivalents/ha) and the magnitude of residues of fosetyl and phosphonic acid was determined at the 30‐day PBI only and not at later PBIs. No firm conclusion can therefore be drawn on the actual residue levels of fosetyl and phosphonic acid in rotational crops and on the most appropriated risk mitigation measures since these studies do not cover the maximum dose rates of application of the authorised GAPs and are also not expected to cover the possible accumulation of phosphonic acid residues following successive years of application as this compound is considered as highly persistent.
Therefore additional rotational crops field trials performed at a dose rate covering the maximum dose rates of application and the possible accumulation of phosphonic acid (max PECsoil for phosphonic acid) considering the GAPs that are currently authorised for fosetyl, potassium phosphonates and disodium phosphonate are in principle required. Nevertheless in the framework of this assessment, monitoring data are also considered to derive MRL proposals covering all sources of phosphonic acid and their residues uptake from the soil. These data are expected to cover also the possible uptake of phosphonic acid in succeeding crops resulting from the use of fosetyl, potassium and disodium phosphonates in compliance with the authorised GAPs and from the use of other products of agricultural relevance (e.g. fertilisers, plant strengthens, manure, soil amendments). Therefore additional rotational crops field studies are only desirable.
1.2.4. Magnitude of residues in processed commodities
The effect of industrial processing and/or household preparation was assessed in studies evaluated in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of fosetyl (on oranges, apples and grapes) (EFSA, 2018e, France, 2018a) and in the framework of the former MRL review of fosetyl (melons and pineapples) (EFSA, 2012a), during the peer review of disodium phosphonate (on wine grapes) (France, 2009; EFSA, 2013), during the peer review of potassium phosphonates (wine grapes) (EFSA, 2012b), in the present MRL review for potassium phosphonates (citrus fruits, table and wine grapes and tomatoes) (France, 2020c) and in the framework of previous assessments on potassium phosphonates (apples, pears, avocados, potatoes, wheat and olives for oil production) (EFSA, 2018b,f, 2019a, 2020a,b,c, 2021e,f). An overview of all available processing studies is available in Appendix B.1.2.5. Robust processing factors (fully supported by data) could be derived for oranges/mandarins peeled, oranges (wet pomace, juice, marmalade), apples (wet pomace, juice, puree), grapes (red/white wine, juice) and melons peeled. For all other processed commodities only tentative processing factors could be derived since number of studies was not sufficient and/or the analytical method used in the study was not sufficiently validated (see Appendix B.1.2.5 for further details). Considering that the tentative processing factors for potatoes process waste and dried pulp were used to calculate the dietary burdens and potatoes were the main contributor to the livestock exposure (see Appendix B.2), additional processing studies on these processed commodities performed with a method sufficiently validated are still required to confirm the calculated dietary burdens and the derived MRLs for livestock.
1.2.5. Proposed MRLs
The proposed MRLs should cover not only residues of phosphonic acid from the authorised uses of fosetyl and disodium and potassium phosphonates, but also residues from other products of agricultural relevance and the existing CXLs. All commodities included in the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 were considered in the assessment, including the commodities for which no GAPs were notified. The proposed MRLs and the rationale behind the proposals are detailed in Appendix B.1.2.6.
The MRL proposals followed the rules as detailed below.
Crops on which GAPs are supported by residue trials, CXLs are established and monitoring data are available: the MRL derivable from the supervised residue trials using the OECD calculator and in accordance with the standard classes to be used for the setting of MRLs (SANCO 10634/2010 Rev.0), the existing CXLs and the residue level calculated from monitoring data according to the CI95 approach (or the highest value observed in monitoring when the number of samples was below 59) were compared and the highest value was selected as proposed MRL. This approach is based on the assumption that the three substances under consideration are not used together on the same crop.
It is underlined that only for asparagus and fennel the MRL proposal is driven by monitoring data, taking note of the following considerations:
Asparagus: to support the authorised use for fosetyl on this crop, an MRL at the LOQ was tentatively derived based on the assumption that no residues are expected according to the conditions of use, to be confirmed by at least two residue trials (see Section 1.2.1). As the results of the monitoring data were found to be higher than the LOQ, the MRL proposal was finally based on the monitoring data. Nevertheless, additional residue trials compliant with the authorised use for fosetyl on this crop are still required to confirm the MRL proposal;
Fennel: the MRL proposal for this crop (8 mg/kg) is based on the highest reported value (7.8 mg/kg) from a population of 56 samples. Moreover the highest reported value corresponds to a non‐compliant sample. Therefore, further considerations by risk managers is required on whether an MRL of 1.5 mg/kg as derivable from the trials available for the use of fosetyl on this crop should be considered instead.
Moreover for pineapples, Brussels sprouts, head cabbage and kohlrabies, although the maximum reported value from the monitoring data was higher than the MRL derived from the trials, when the CI95 approach was applied the resulting value was lower than the MRL derived from GAP. Therefore the MRL was finally derived from GAP supporting trials.
Crops for which no GAPs are authorised, or the authorised GAPs are not supported by data, no CXLs are established, and monitoring data were available: the MRL was derived from the available monitoring data following the rules as described in Section 1.2.2, taking note of the following considerations:
Cherries, plums, cranberries, leeks and peas dry: the authorised uses for fosetyl and potassium phosphonates on these crops were not supported by data. Although a tentative MRL could be derived from the available monitoring data, residue trials compliant with the authorised uses for these crops are still required;
Herbal infusions from flowers: the authorised use for fosetyl on these crops was not supported by data. Although a tentative MRL could be derived extrapolating the available monitoring data on chamomile to the whole group, residue trials compliant with the authorised use for these crops are still required;
Parsnips and parsley roots: the CI95 approach could not be applied for these crops (less than 59 samples were available). Although a tentative MRL could be derived based on the highest residue from the monitoring data, it is highlighted that this value corresponds to a non‐compliant sample;
Rhubarb, rye and tea: the highest reported LOQ was higher than the highest reported measured value. Although a MRL could be derived for these commodities applying the CI95 approach, it is underlined that the derived MRL is driven by the highest reported LOQs (> 0.2 mg/kg);
Dates, grape leaves, linseeds, barley and oats: all results from the monitoring data were below the LOQ. Nevertheless, it is underlined that the reported LOQ was higher than the LOQ for enforcement considered in this review (0.1 mg/kg).
Crops for which no GAPs are authorised, no CXLs are established and monitoring data are not available: when possible tentative MRLs were proposed by extrapolation of the monitoring data available for a similar crop. The following extrapolations were proposed, considering a similar morphology and the robustness of the monitoring data available:
arrowroots (extrapolation from sweet potatoes),
beans without pods (extrapolation from peas, without pods),
lentils fresh (extrapolation from peas, with pods),
cardoons (extrapolation from celeries),
lupins (extrapolation from beans, dry),
poppy seeds, mustard seeds, cotton seeds, safflower seeds, borage seeds, Gold of pleasure seeds, hemp seeds, castor beans (extrapolation from sunflower seeds),
sorghum (extrapolation from maize),
spices (roots and rhizome) (extrapolation from ginger),
sugar beet root (extrapolation from carrots).
Overall the available data are considered sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values for all commodities under evaluation, except for rose hips, mulberries, jambuls, American persimmon, guavas, breadfruits, durians, soursops, bamboo shoots, palm hearts, mosses and lichens, algae and prokaryotes organisms, oil palm kernels, oil palm fruits, kapok, herbal infusions (dry roots), cocoa beans, carobs, spices (bark, buds, flower stigma, aril) and sugar cane, where no monitoring data nor residue trials are available, no extrapolation is possible and therefore MRLs and risk assessment values could not be derived. The MRLs derived are expected to cover residue from rotational crops.
It is underlined that the MRLs derived from the monitoring data on chamomile, tea, coffee beans, spices (roots and rhizome) are lower than the proposed LOQ of the available method for enforcement in complex matrices (see Section 1.1.4). Therefore, these MRLs should be considered tentative only and should be confirmed by an analytical method validated at a lower LOQ.
Tentative MRLs were also derived for feed crops (cereal straw) in view of the future need to set MRLs in feed items.
2. Residues in livestock
Fosetyl, and potassium phosphonates are authorised for use on several crops that might be fed to livestock. Disodium phosphonate is authorised on table/wine grapes and on horseradishes that are not considered as feed commodities in Europe. Considering that livestock may be exposed to residues originating not only from the use of fosetyl and potassium phosphonates, but also from other sources the calculation of the livestock dietary burden was performed combining the residues originating from these two active substances and the monitoring data. The selection of the input values followed the same rules as for the MRL proposals derived in Section 1.2.5. The risk assessment input values derived from the supervised residue trials were compared and the highest residue values were selected for the exposure calculation. This approach is based on the assumption that both compounds are not used simultaneously on the same crop. For the crops for which there are no authorised uses on fosetyl and potassium phosphonates and for dry peas, for which the use of fosetyl was not supported by data (see Section 1.2.1), input values were derived from the available monitoring data. Finally, for the crops for which there are no authorised uses on fosetyl and potassium phosphonates and monitoring data are not available, the following extrapolations were proposed:
cotton seed and safflower seed: data were extrapolated from the monitoring data on sunflower seed (more robust data set);
sorghum grain: data were extrapolated from the monitoring data on maize grain;
sugar beet roots: data were extrapolated from carrots;
cowpea seeds and lupin seeds, dry: data were extrapolated from beans, dry.
The detailed input values for this calculation are summarised in Appendix D.1. It is underlined that no information on the levels of phosphonic acid in forages are available. Nevertheless, this is not expected to have a significant impact on the calculations considering that the MRL derived for livestock based on the livestock feeding studies are higher than the residues observed in livestock during monitoring (see Appendix B.2.2.2).
The calculations were performed for different groups of livestock according to OECD guidance (OECD, 2013), which has now also been agreed upon at European level. The dietary burdens calculated for all groups of livestock were found to exceed the trigger value of 0.1 mg/kg DM. Behaviour of residues was therefore assessed in all commodities of animal origin.
2.1. Nature of residues and methods of analysis in livestock
The metabolism of fosetyl‐Al residues was investigated in lactating goats and assessed in the framework of the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl (EFSA, 2018e).
Fosetyl‐Al was extensively degraded into phosphonic acid and ethanol and was never recovered in milk and tissues. Residues of fosetyl‐Al and ethanol were found in the stomach contents and in urine only. Ethanol was then further excreted as CO2 or reincorporated into natural products such as carbohydrates, glycogen, saponifiable fatty acids and lipids and amino acids. These studies were highly underdosed compared to the calculated dietary burden (ca. 0.2N rate). Nevertheless, it can reasonably be assumed that a different metabolic pathway is not expected in ruminant matrices from a new study adequately dosed in view of the very simple structure of the parent molecule. These available studies can therefore be considered as acceptable.
No metabolism study on hens was available. However, based on the simple nature of the molecule and the extensive metabolism shown in the goat metabolism studies, a study investigating the metabolism of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid in poultry was considered not necessary (EFSA, 2018e).
No livestock metabolism study was available for potassium phosphonates. Nevertheless, considering the results of the metabolism study performed with fosetyl on ruminants and the simple nature of phosphonic acid, no additional study is required.
EFSA concludes that the metabolism of fosetyl‐Al, potassium and disodium phosphonates in livestock is adequately elucidated, and phosphonic acid can be considered as the most relevant component of the residues in commodities of animal origin for both enforcement and risk assessment.
An analytical method using HPLC–MS/MS was fully validated for the determination of phosphonic acid with a LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg in milk, and 0.05 mg/kg in animal tissues and eggs (EFSA, 2018e). The peer review of fosetyl (EFSA, 2018g) noted that the extraction efficiency was missing, but it was not requested as data gap. In terms of extraction efficiency, the same data requirements as for the peer review of fosetyl apply here and thus the same conclusion of the peer review applies to this assessment. According to the EURLs LOQs of 0.05 and 0.2 mg/kg are achievable in milk and fat, respectively while it is assumed that an LOQ of 0.5 mg/kg should be achievable in liver, kidney and muscle (EURL, 2020). An analytical method based on LC–MS/MS for honey was made available in the RAR (France, 2018a), with a LOQ of 0.05 mg (phosphonic acid)/kg. Although ILV and extraction efficiency were not available, the peer review concluded that according to the data requirements applicable, the method was sufficiently validated (EFSA, 2018g). The same conclusion is applied in this assessment.
Storage stability data on phosphonic acid in animal matrices were not submitted.
2.2. Magnitude of residues in livestock
In the framework of the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl, poultry and ruminants feeding studies were provided (EFSA, 2018e, France 2018a). The laying hens were dosed for 28 consecutive days with phosphonic acid at dosing levels of 0.95, 3.703 and 11.387 mg/kg bw per day. Residues of fosetyl‐Al and phosphonic acid were found to be below the LOQ of the method for both compounds (0.5 mg/kg) in eggs, muscle, liver and fat at all dose levels.
Lactating cows were also dosed for 28 consecutive days with phosphonic acid at dosing levels of 0.327, 0.982 and 3.273 mg/kg bw per day. This cow feeding study cannot be considered as acceptable to determine the magnitude of phosphonic acid in milk and tissues as it is significantly underdosed compared to the calculated dietary burden.
An additional feeding study performed on dairy cows was evaluated in the framework of an MRL application for potassium phosphonates (France, 2018b; EFSA, 2019a). In this study, cows were dosed for 28 consecutive days with potassium phosphonates at levels corresponding to 11, 22 and 66 mg phosphonic acid equivalents/kg bw per day. Residues of phosphonic acid were quantified in milk, fat, liver and kidney at all dosing levels. In muscle the residues were below the LOQ (0.5 mg/kg) at the lowest dosing level only. The dietary burden calculated in the current assessment falls within the dose ranges of this new feeding study.
The studies performed respectively on poultry and dairy cows were used to derive MRL and risk assessment values in milk, eggs and tissues. Since extrapolation from ruminants to pigs is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in pigs. In the study on dairy cows, samples of tissues/milk were analysed for phosphonic acid within 30 days and storage stability data are therefore not triggered. No information on the storage conditions of the samples from the hens feeding studies is available. However, the peer review for the renewal of fosetyl concluded that, based on the elementary nature of the residues it is considered unlikely that significant degradation occurred (EFSA, 2018e). Therefore, storage stability studies are not required.
As done for the plant commodities, MRLs derived from the livestock feeding studies were compared with the existing CXLs and with the monitoring data and the highest value was selected (see Appendix B.2.2.2).
It is underlined that all the MRLs derived from the feeding studies are higher compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid from the monitoring data in milk, eggs and tissues. Therefore, for all livestock commodities, the MRLs are based on the livestock feeding studies. Nevertheless, considering that potatoes were the main contributor of the livestock exposure (see Appendix B.2) and the processing factors for potatoes process waste and dried pulp used to calculate the dietary burdens were not fully supported by data, the derived MRLs for livestock should be considered tentative only. For honey, the MRL was derived on the basis of the existing monitoring data (see Appendix B.2.2.2 and Annex A).
3. Consumer risk assessment considering all sources of phosphonic acid and including the existing CXLs
Considering that consumers may be exposed to residues originating from the uses of fosetyl, disodium and potassium phosphonates as plant protection products, but also from other sources (e.g. fertilisers, plant strengtheners, manure, soil amendments) a comprehensive consumer risk assessment was performed combining the residues originating from these three active substances and the monitoring data. Moreover, the use of fosetyl was previously also assessed by the JMPR (FAO, 2017a,b). The CXLs, resulting from this assessment by JMPR and adopted by the CAC, are now international recommendations that need to be considered by European risk managers when establishing MRLs. To facilitate consideration of these CXLs by risk managers, the consumer exposure was calculated including the existing CXLs as well. It is underlined that, although the residue definition for enforcement established by the JMPR includes fosetyl as well, the CXLs can still be considered comparable with the derived EU MRLs, since according to the available trials in most of the commodities fosetyl was found at negligible level compared to phosphonic acid. The selection of the input values for the plant commodities followed the same rules as for the MRL proposals derived in Section 1.2.5 and as detailed below:
Crops on which GAPs are authorised and sufficiently supported by residue trials and/or CXLs are established and monitoring data are available: the risk assessment input values derived from the supervised residue trials and by the JMPR were compared and the highest residue values were selected for the exposure calculation, except for asparagus for which both MRL proposal and risk assessment input value were driven by monitoring data. It is noted that although the MRL proposal for fennel was derived from the monitoring data, the STMR considered for risk assessment was based on the authorised use for fosetyl which lead to an higher STMR. This approach is based on the assumption that the three substances under consideration are not used together on the same crop.
Crops for which no GAPs are authorised or the authorised GAPs are not supported by data, no CXLs are established and monitoring data were available: the calculated mean from the monitoring data was used as input value for risk assessment in line with the approach followed in the annual report on pesticide residues.
Crops for which no GAPs are authorised, no CXLs are established and monitoring data are not available: the following extrapolations were proposed, considering a similar morphology and the robustness of the monitoring data available: arrowroots (extrapolation from sweet potatoes), beans without pods (extrapolation from peas, without pods), lentils fresh (extrapolation from peas, with pods), cardoons (extrapolation from celeries), lupins (extrapolation from beans, dry), poppy seeds, mustard seeds, cotton seeds, safflower seeds, borage seeds, Gold of pleasure seeds, hemp seeds, castor beans (extrapolation from sunflower seeds), sorghum (extrapolation from maize), spices (roots and rhizome) (extrapolation from ginger), sugar beet root (extrapolation from carrots).
Crops for which GAPs are authorised but not supported by residue trials, no CXLs are established, no monitoring data are available and no extrapolation was possible: EFSA considered the existing MRL recalculated as phosphonic acid, for an indicative calculation.
For animal commodities, EFSA considered the input values as derived from the available livestock feeding studies as they are higher compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid from the monitoring data in milk, eggs and tissues and the median from the available monitoring data on honey.
All input values included in the exposure calculations refer to the residues in the raw agricultural commodities and are summarised in Appendix D.2.
EFSA considered for the risk assessment the currently applicable ADI of 2.25 mg/kg bw per day for phosphonic acid (European Commission, 2012). Moreover, during the peer review for the renewal of the approval of fosetyl, a revised ADI of 1 mg/kg bw per day has been derived by EFSA and considered applicable also to phosphonic acid (EFSA, 2018e). Although the revised ADI has not yet been endorsed by risk managers, the outcome of the chronic risk assessment based on this reference value was also reported. An acute reference dose (ARfD) was not deemed necessary for phosphonic acid and therefore an acute risk assessment was not performed.
It is underlined that the database available to set reference values for phosphonic acid is incomplete, i.e. it does not include reproductive toxicity studies. Considering that phosphonic acid is a major metabolite of fosetyl in rat (approx. 73% of the administered dose recovered in urine) and that for fosetyl a complete data package including reproductive toxicity studies is available, EFSA has recently considered more appropriate to use the reference values of the parent for this metabolite, i.e. ADI of 1 mg/kg bw per day instead of the ADI of 2.25 mg/kg bw per day as previously proposed for phosphonic acid in 2012. An ARfD was deemed unnecessary. The same approach has been followed by JMPR (FAO, 2017a,b).
Chronic exposure calculations for all crops considered in the framework of this review were performed using revision 3.1 of the EFSA PRIMo (EFSA, 2018a, 2019b).
When considering the currently applicable ADI of 2.25 mg/kg bw per day, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 36% of the ADI.
When considering the ADI of 1 mg/kg bw per day proposed by the peer review which has not yet been endorsed by risk managers, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 80% of the ADI.
In both scenarios, the main contributors to the consumer exposure were apples, potatoes and wheat for which MRLs and risk assessment values were derived from the authorised uses as plant protection products.
Although major uncertainties remain due to the data gaps identified in the previous sections, this indicative exposure calculation did not indicate a risk to consumer's health.
Conclusions
Based on the metabolism studies conducted with fosetyl‐Al in primary and rotational crops, the metabolism of fosetyl‐Al, disodium and potassium phosphonates in plants was concluded to be similar in all crops and for all kinds of treatment. The standard processing conditions of pasteurisation, baking/brewing and boiling and sterilisation are not expected to modify the nature of residues in processed commodities.
According to the present mandate, EFSA is requested to derive MRLs and to carry out the risk assessment based on the residue definition for enforcement and risk assessment for all plants set as ‘phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid’. However, since significant residue levels of fosetyl compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid were also found in the supervised residue trials for several crops (blackberries, tomatoes and kales), EFSA proposed to apply the residue definition for risk assessment as ‘sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as phosphonic acid’ for all crops and uses reported for fosetyl. The residue definition for risk assessment set as ‘phosphonic acid and its salts expressed as phosphonic acid’ remains valid for all the uses reported for potassium and disodium phosphonates.
For enforcement purposes, phosphonic acid is considered a sufficient marker for all authorised uses of fosetyl, potassium and disodium phosphonates.
Analytical methods for the enforcement of the proposed residue definition at the LOQ of 0.1 mg/kg in all four main plant matrices and at the LOQ of 20 mg/kg in hops, herbal infusions and spices are available; validation details for herbal infusions and spices are nonetheless still desirable to support the authorised uses of fosetyl on herbal infusions from flowers and on spices (seed and fruits) and the use of potassium phosphonates on herbal infusions from leaves and herbs. According to the EURLs, LOQs of 0.1 mg/kg (in high water and acidic matrices) and 0.2 mg/kg (in high fat and dry/high starch content matrices) are achievable during routine analyses.
Considering that the derived MRLs should cover not only residues of phosphonic acid from the authorised uses of fosetyl and disodium and potassium phosphonates, but also residues from other products of agricultural relevance (e.g. fertilisers) and the existing CXLs, MRLs were derived comparing the residues originating from these three active substances, the existing CXLs and the monitoring data available. All commodities included in the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 were considered in the assessment, including the commodities for which no GAPs were notified. Nevertheless, a risk management decision should still be taken on whether MRLs should be proposed for commodities for which no GAPs are authorised or the authorised uses are not supported by data and on the period of their applicability.
Overall the available data are considered sufficient to derive (tentative) MRL proposals as well as risk assessment values for all commodities under evaluation, except for rose hips, mulberries, jambuls, American persimmon, guavas, breadfruits, durians, soursops, bamboo shoots, palm hearts, mosses and lichens, algae and prokaryotes organisms, oil palm kernels, oil palm fruits, kapok, herbal infusions (dry roots), cocoa beans, carobs, spices (bark, buds, flower stigma, aril) and sugar cane, where no monitoring data nor residue trials are available, no extrapolation is possible and therefore MRLs and risk assessment values could not be derived. The MRLs derived are expected to cover phosphonic acid residues from rotational crops.
It is underlined that the MRLs derived from the monitoring data on chamomile, tea, coffee beans, spices (roots and rhizome) are lower than the proposed LOQ of the available method for enforcement in complex matrices. Therefore these MRLs should be considered tentative only and should be confirmed by an analytical method validated at a lower LOQ.
Fosetyl and potassium phosphonates are authorised for use on several crops that might be fed to livestock. Calculation of the livestock dietary burden was performed combining the residues originating from these two active substances and the monitoring data. The dietary burdens calculated for all groups of livestock were found to exceed the trigger value of 0.1 mg/kg dry matter (DM). Behaviour of residues was therefore assessed in all commodities of animal origin.
The metabolism of fosetyl‐Al residues was investigated in lactating goats only. Metabolism studies with potassium phosphonates were not available. However, based on the simple nature of the molecule and the extensive metabolism shown in the goat metabolism studies, additional studies were considered not necessary. Based on the available study, EFSA concludes that phosphonic acid can be considered as the most relevant component of the residues in commodities of animal origin for both enforcement and risk assessment. An analytical method using HPLC–MS/MS was fully validated for the determination of phosphonic acid in milk with a LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg and in all animal tissues and eggs, with a LOQ of 0.05 mg/kg. According to the EURLs, LOQs of 0.05 and 0.2 mg/kg are achievable in milk and fat, respectively, while it is assumed that an LOQ of 0.5 mg/kg should be achievable in liver, kidney and muscle. An analytical method based on LC–MS/MS was sufficiently validated for the determination of phosphonic acid in honey at the LOQ of 0.05 mg/kg.
Livestock feeding studies on poultry and dairy cows were used to derive MRL and risk assessment values in milk, eggs and tissues. Since extrapolation from ruminants to pigs is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in pigs. As done for the plant commodities, MRLs derived from the livestock feeding studies were compared with the existing CXLs and with the monitoring data and the highest value was selected. It is underlined that all the MRLs derived from the feeding studies are higher compared to the residue levels of phosphonic acid from the monitoring data in milk, eggs and tissues. Therefore for all livestock commodities, the MRLs are based on the livestock feeding studies. Nevertheless, considering that potatoes were the main contributor to the livestock exposure and the processing factors for potatoes process waste and dried pulp used to calculate the dietary burdens were not fully supported by data, the derived MRLs for livestock should be considered tentative only. For honey, the MRL was derived on the basis of the existing monitoring data.
A comprehensive consumer risk assessment was performed combining information from supervised residue trials with these three active substances and the available monitoring data. The existing CXLs were also considered. For those commodities where data were insufficient to derive a MRL, EFSA considered the existing EU MRL recalculated as phosphonic acid for an indicative calculation.
EFSA considered for the risk assessment the currently applicable ADI of 2.25 mg/kg bw per day for phosphonic acid. The outcome of the chronic risk assessment based on the ADI proposed by the peer review of 1 mg/kg bw per day for phosphonic acid, which has not yet been endorsed by risk managers, was also reported. An ARfD was not deemed necessary for phosphonic acid and therefore an acute risk assessment was not performed.
When considering the currently applicable ADI of 2.25 mg/kg bw per day, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 36% of the ADI.
When considering the ADI of 1 mg/kg bw per day proposed by the peer review which has not yet been endorsed by risk managers, the highest chronic exposure was calculated for Dutch toddler, representing 80% of the ADI.
In both scenarios, the main contributors to the consumer exposure were apples, potatoes and wheat for which MRLs and risk assessment values were derived from the authorised uses as plant protection products.
Recommendations
MRL recommendations were derived in compliance with the approach as outlined in the reasoned opinion. All MRL values listed as ‘Recommended’ in the table are sufficiently supported by data and are therefore proposed for inclusion in Annex II to the Regulation. The remaining MRL values listed in the table are not recommended for inclusion in Annex II because they require further consideration by risk managers (see Table 2 footnotes for details). In particular, some tentative MRLs and/or existing EU MRLs need to be confirmed by the following data:
Additional residue trials supporting the most critical GAPs for potassium phosphonates on oranges and grapefruits, apples, pears, cherries, plums, cranberries, rose hips, mulberries and pineapples;
Additional residue trials supporting the most critical GAPs for fosetyl on cucurbits with inedible peel, asparagus, leeks, dry peas, herbal infusions from flowers;
Additional monitoring data on dates, figs, kumquats, carambola, jambolan, lychee, passion fruits, prickly pear, star apples, America persimmon, papaya, cherimoya, guava, bread fruit, durian, soursop, cassava, yams, arrowroots, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley roots, salsify, swedes, turnips, okra, vine leaves, watercress, beans (fresh, without pods), fresh lentils, cardoons, celery, fennel, bamboo shoots, palm hearts, mosses and lichens, algae and prokaryotes organisms, dry lentils, dry peas, dry lupins, oilseeds, oil palm kernel, oil palm fruits, kapok, barley, maize, common millet, oat, sorghum, coffee beans, herbal infusions (from flowers, roots), cocoa beans, carobs, spices (bark, roots and rhizome, buds, flower stigma, aril), sugar beet roots and sugar cane;
Analytical methods for the enforcement in difficult matrices (tea, coffee beans, carobs, herbal infusions from flowers and spices from roots and rhizome) validated at a lower LOQ;
Additional processing studies on potatoes process waste and dried pulp.

It is highlighted, however, that some of the MRLs derived result from a CXL, or from a GAP in one climatic zone only or from one of the active substances under assessment, whereas other GAPs reported by MSs were not fully supported by data. EFSA therefore identified the following data gaps which are not expected to impact on the validity of the MRLs derived but which might have an impact on national authorisations:
Additional residue trials supporting the authorised uses of fosetyl on chestnuts, table grapes, raspberries, sweet peppers/bell peppers, fresh herbs;
Additional residue trials supporting the authorised uses of potassium phosphonates on apricots, strawberries, dewberries, elderberries, azaroles, kaki, onions, sweet peppers, cucurbits with edible and inedible peel, escaroles, roman rocket, cresses, land cresses, red mustards and baby leaf crops, witloof.
If the above reported data gaps are not addressed in the future, Member States are recommended to withdraw or modify the relevant authorisations at national level.
EFSA also underlines that, according to the information provided by the EURLs, the analytical standard for phosphonic acid and the isotopically labelled internal standard (ILIS) phosphonic acid‐18O3 are commercially available.
Minor deficiencies were also identified in the assessment but these deficiencies are not expected to impact either on the validity of the MRLs derived or on the national authorisations. The following data are therefore considered desirable but not essential:
Storage conditions for some of the residue trials on wine grapes, tomatoes and salad plants;
Additional rotational crops field studies covering the accumulation of phosphonic acid in the soil;
Validation details for the analytical methods for the enforcement in herbal infusions and spices supporting the authorised uses of fosetyl on herbal infusions from flowers, spices (seed and fruits) and the use of potassium phosphonates in herbal infusions from leaves and herbs.

| No study on nature of residues in rotational crops is available for potassium phosphonate. However, the available study conducted with fosetyl (see above) is considered sufficient to assess the behaviour of potassium phosphonate in rotational crops (France, 2020c). | |||||
| Disodium phosphonate | |||||
| No study on nature of residues in rotational crops is available for disodium phosphonate. However, the available study conducted with fosetyl (see above) is considered sufficient to assess the behaviour of disodium phosphonate in rotational crops (France, 2020b). | |||||
| Processed commodities (hydrolysis study) | Conditions | Stable? | Comment/Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pasteurisation (20 min, 90°C, pH 4) | Yes | Studies evaluated during the peer review for the renewal of fosetyl, showed that fosetyl and phosphonic acid are stable following processing (EFSA, 2018e). In the peer review of disodium phosphonates a case was made that the only expected behaviour would be a change in the conversion rate to phosphonic acid (EFSA, 2013). | |

GAP: Good Agricultural Practice; OECD: Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development; MRL: maximum residue level.
Indicates that the MRL is proposed at the limit of quantification.
Mo: residue levels expressed according to the monitoring residue definition; RA: residue levels expressed according to risk assessment residue definition.
NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe, SEU: Outdoor trials conducted in southern Europe, Indoor: indoor EU trials or Country code: if non‐EU trials.
Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment (RA) refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.
Supervised trials median residue. The median residue for risk assessment (RA) refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.
Conversion factor to recalculate residues according to the residue definition for monitoring to the residue definition for risk assessment.
For all the uses on fosetyl (except for blackberries, kales and tomatoes), for which sufficient residue trials are available, fosetyl residues were measured at negligible levels compared to phosphonic acid residues in the crops at harvest (residues either at or below the LOQ of the method or residues accounting for less than 15% of the phosphonic acid residues). Therefore the results according to the residue definition for risk assessment have not been reported and a conversion factor for risk assessment of 1 has been derived.
Storage sample conditions of the corresponding trials were not given. However considering that acceptable storage stability was demonstrated for up to 25 months in the main four matrices and these residue values are in the same range as the residue values supported by acceptable storage stability data, this information is considered as desirable only.
A tentative MRL is derived based on a reduced number of trials.
A tentative MRL is derived based on overdosed trials or trials performed according to a more critical GAP.
A tentative MRL is derived pending submission of GAP‐compliant trials confirming that residues remain below the LOQ.

MRL proposed at the LOQ for enforcement.
At least one relevant GAP or CXL reported during this review is supported by data for this commodity; the reported value represents the highest MRL among the existing CXL, and the MRL derived from the available trials on fosetyl, disodium phosphonate and potassium phosphonates.
Highest value found in the monitoring data from 2015 to 2018 (see Annex A).
Percentile 95th (P95); when monitoring data were available and the MRL proposal derived from GAP and trials was lower than the max value of the monitoring data or when no MRL proposals could be derived from the reported GAP, the P95 was calculated. This parameter could only be calculated when at least 20 results were available. Residues below LOQ were included in the calculation by replacing them by the LOQ of the reporting laboratory (upper bound scenario).
Upper confidence interval (CI95) of the calculated P95. The CI95 could only be calculated when at least 59 results were available. Residues below LOQ were included in the calculation by replacing them by the LOQ of the reporting laboratory (upper bound scenario).
All monitoring data reported below LOQ of reporting laboratory.
The highest value found in the monitoring data was higher than the MRL derived from the GAP, but MRL derived from monitoring data based on CI95 approach leads to lower MRL than the one derived from trials.
CI95 driven by LOQs, which are higher than the maximum reported measured value.
The derived MRL is lower than the proposed LOQ of the available method for enforcement in complex matrices. Therefore the derived MRL should be considered tentative only and should be confirmed by an analytical method validated at a lower LOQ.

n.a.: not applicable; n.r. : not reported.
Median residues expressed according to the residue definition for monitoring, recalculated at the 1N rate for the median dietary burden.
Highest residues expressed according to the residue definition for monitoring, recalculated at the 1N rate for the maximum dietary burden.
Closest feeding level and N dose rate related to the maximum dietary burden.
Considering that tentative processing factors for potatoes process waste and dried pulp were used to calculate the dietary burdens and potatoes were the main contributor of the livestock exposure, the derived MRLs for livestock should be considered tentative only.
Since extrapolation from cattle to other ruminants and swine is acceptable, results of the livestock feeding study on ruminants were relied upon to derive the MRL and risk assessment values in sheep and swine.

Highest value found in the monitoring data from 2015 to 2018 (see Annex A).
Percentile 95th (P95); for animal tissues, eggs and milk, MRL proposals derived from livestock feeding studies were higher than max monitoring data (when available) and P95 was not calculated. For honey, the P95 was calculated (n > 20). Residues below LOQ were included in the calculation by replacing them by the LOQ of the reporting laboratory (upper bound scenario).
Upper confidence interval (CI95) of the calculated P95. For honey (n > 59), CI95 was calculated. Residues below LOQ were included in the calculation by replacing them by the LOQ of the reporting laboratory (upper bound scenario).

The United Kingdom withdrew from EU on 1 February 2020. In accordance with the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU, and with the established transition period, the EU requirements on data reporting also apply to the United Kingdom data collected until 31 December 2020.
Commission Regulation (EU) No 546/2011 of 10 June 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards uniform principles for evaluation and authorisation of plant protection products. OJ L 155, 11.6.2011, p. 127–175.
The dose rate of application of 14.7 kg phosphonic acid/ha was calculated based on the soil concentration of phosphonic acid (4.9 mg/kg soil) that was applied on bare soil, provided soil ploughing at a depth of 20 cm and considering a soil density of 1.5 kg/L.
MW fosetyl‐Al: 354.104 g/mol. AW Al: 26.982 g/mol. MW phosphonic acid: 82 g/mol. MW of fosetyl (without aluminium): 354.104–26.982 = 327.122 g/mol. 1 equivalent of fosetyl‐Al corresponds to 3 equivalents of fosetyl: 327.122/3 = 109.041 g/mol and 1 equivalent of fosetyl corresponds to 1 equivalent of phosphonic acid. The factor of 0.75 (82/109.041) for the conversion of fosetyl to phosphonic acid equivalents can be derived.
Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 of 1 March 2013 setting out the data requirements for active substances, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market.
