2022年1月21日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息称，拟修订嘧菌酯（azoxystrobin）在油菜籽和亚麻籽中的最大残留限量。
根据欧盟条例（EC）No 396/2005第6章的规定，Industrias Afrasa SA – Albaugh TKI d.o.o. – Lainco S.A. 提交了该修订申请。经过评估，欧盟食品安全局得出结论，根据所报道的农业实践，长期摄入因使用嘧菌酯而产生的残留物不太可能对消费者健康构成风险。部分原文报道如下：
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Industrias Afrasa SA – Albaugh TKI d.o.o. – Lainco S.A. submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance azoxystrobin in rapeseeds and linseeds. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for rapeseeds. No modification of the existing EU MRL was proposed for linseeds. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of azoxystrobin in the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. based on the risk assessment results, noting that an acute risk assessment was not deemed necessary for azoxystrobin, EFSA concluded that the long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of azoxystrobin according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
