All studies were performed with phenyl‐labelled thiabendazole (EFSA, 2016).

Considering the overall availability of metabolism data (including rotational crop studies), a specific study to cover the treatment of chicory roots prior to witloof forcing is not considered necessary (EFSA, 2016).

Processed commodities (hydrolysis study) Conditions Stable? Comment/Source
Pasteurisation (20 min, 90°C, pH 4) Yes Thiabendazole is hydrolytically stable under conditions representative of pasteurisation, baking/brewing/boiling and sterilisation (EFSA, 2021).
Baking, brewing and boiling (60 min, 100°C, pH 5) Yes
Sterilisation (20 min, 120°C, pH 6) Yes
