欧盟拟制定柑橘作物中农药DDAC的进口限量

      据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，5月29日欧盟食品安全局就制定柑橘作物中农药二癸基二甲基氯化铵（didecyldimethylammonium chloride,DDAC）的进口限量发布了意见。

    经过相关评定，欧盟食品安全局认为，由于南非将柑橘作物中农药DDAC的最大残留限量制定为2mg/kg,因此风险评估人员需充分评估6 mg/kg的最大残留限量的合理性。

    部分原文报道如下：

    In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation （EC） No 396/2005, The Netherlands, hereafter referred to as the evaluating Member State （EMS）， received an application from Exponent International Ltd （on behalf of ICA International Chemicals （PTY） Ltd） to set an import tolerance in citrus from South Africa for the active substance didecyldimethylammonium chloride （DDAC） at the level of 6 mg/kg.

        EFSA concludes that the consumer risk assessment did not identify a consumer health risk resulting from the post harvest uses of DDAC on citrus fruits. However it should be noted that the risk assessment is affected by a high degree of uncertainties which result from data gaps identified in the dossier. Finally, EFSA concludes that risk managers have to decide whether the setting of an import tolerance of 6 mg/kg is acceptable since the MRL currently into force for citrus in South Africa is 2 mg/kg only.
