2024年10月29日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息称，拟修订毒莠定（picloram）在动物产品和蜂蜜中的最大残留限量。
根据欧盟条例（EC）No 396/2005第6章的规定，Corteva Agriscience International Sàrl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毒莠定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 Corteva Agriscience International Sàrl submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in certain animal commodities (fat and liver) and honey. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal for honey. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues according to the residue definition for enforcement proposed as ‘picloram, free and conjugated, expressed as picloram’ in honey at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. For the commodities of animal origin, although the submitted data were found to be sufficient, EFSA concluded that no change of the existing MRLs was necessary. based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues expected in honey, resulting from the existing uses of picloram on melliferous crops, is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
