UNITS:Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.
KEY:
* Level at or about the limit of determination.
FOOTNOTES:
(¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.
(²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.
(³) These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.
(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply: -if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk; -if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
(5) Bird's eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).
(9) All other meat, edible offal, fat and preparations of meat and edible offal.
(¹²) Liver of bovine animals.
(¹8) Liver of chicken.
(¹9) Kidney of bovine animals.
(46) The figure of 0.05 is the total MRL for Carbendazim and Thiophanate-methyl taken together and expressed as carbendazim.

UNITS:Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.
KEY:
* Level at or about the limit of determination.FOOTNOTES:
(¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.
(²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.
(³) These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.
(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply: -if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk; -if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
(5) Bird's eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).
(7) For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10% , the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.
(9) All other meat, edible offal, fat and preparations of meat and edible offal.
(¹¹) All liver and kidney.
(²6) Liver of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.
(²7) Kidney of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.
(²8) Meat of poultry, fat and edible offal.
(²9) Meat of bovine animals, sheep, goats and swine.
(³³) Poultry and poultry products.

UNITS:Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.
KEY:
* Level at or about the limit of determination.FOOTNOTES:
(¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.
(²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.
(³) These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.
(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply: -if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk; -if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
(5) Bird's eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).
(¹²) Liver of bovine animals.
(¹5) Meat of bovine animals.
(¹9) Kidney of bovine animals.
(³¹) Kidney of swine.
(4³) Except liver and kidney of bovine animals, and kidney of swine and poultry.
(45) Kidney of poultry.
Except liver, kidney and meat of bovine animals, and kidney of poultry.

UNITS:Maximum residue levels (MRLs) are expressed in milligrammes of residue per kilogramme of food.
KEY:
* Level at or about the limit of determination.FOOTNOTES:
(¹) Paddy or rough rice, husked rice and semi-milled or wholly milled rice.
(²) Levels are measured on fat, except in the case of foods with a fat content of 10% or less by weight. In these cases the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff and the MRL is one tenth of the value given in the table, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.
(³) These levels are for fresh raw cow's milk and fresh whole cream cow's milk expressed on the whole milk.
(4) For preserved, concentrated or sweetened cow's milk; for raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin; and for butter, cheese or curd whether made from cow's milk or other milk or a combination, the following levels apply: -if the fat content is less than 2% by weight, the MRL is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk; -if the fat content is 2% or more by weight, the MRL is expressed in mg/kg of fat and is set at 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
(5) Bird's eggs in shell (other than eggs for hatching) and whole egg products and egg yolk products (whether fresh, dried or otherwise prepared).
(46) The figure of 0.05 is the total MRL for Carbendazim and Thiophanate-methyl taken together and expressed as carbendazim.
These Regulations amend the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3286) ("the principal Regulations").
The Regulations come into force in stages on dates from 9th December 2006 to 30th December 2007.
The Regulations substitute or insert:
(a) new residue definition for certain pesticides in Schedule 1 to the principal regulations which identifies the pesticide residues that are taken into account in the measuring of residue levels for each pesticide; and
(b) new maximum residue levels for certain pesticides in Schedule to the principal Regulations.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) was prepared in 2005 when the principal Regulations were previously consolidated and provides a basis for establishing the impact of amendments to the principal Regulations of the kind made by these Regulations. A consultation in 2003 indicated that compliance costs were virtually unchanged from those quoted in the 1999 RIA. Copies of the assessment can be obtained from the Pesticides Safety Directorate, Room 308, Mallard House, Kings Pool, 3 Peasholme Green, York Y01 7PX or via the website www.pesticides.gov.uk. Copies have been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
