2024年7月18日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息称，拟修订甲氧虫酰肼（methoxyfenozide）在茄子中的最大残留限量。
根据欧盟条例（EC）No 396/2005第6章的规定，the Federal Public Service (FPS) Health, Food chain Safety and Environment 提交了该修订申请。经过评估，欧盟食品安全局得出结论，短期和长期摄入因使用甲氧虫酰肼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 Federal Public Service (FPS) Health, Food chain Safety and Environment submitted a request on behalf of Belgium (evaluating Member State, EMS) to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance methoxyfenozide in aubergines/eggplants. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for aubergines/eggplants. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of methoxyfenozide in the commodity under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. based on the risk assessment results, the EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the indoor use of methoxyfenozide according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
