combinations pesticide-code number:

(F) Fat solubleBenzalkonium chloride (mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides with alkyl chain lengths of 
C8, C10, C12, C14, C16 and C18)Monitoring data show that there may be a 
contamination of potatoes above the default MRL 
of 0.01 mg/kg when stored in facilities with a 
history of chlorpropham use. This temporary MRL 
will be reviewed based on monitoring data 
submitted to the Commission by 
31 December 2022 and thereafter by 
31 December of each subsequent year. Food 
business operators should submit a report on the 
development and implementation of cleaning 
practices to the Commission together with the 
monitoring data by 31 December 2022, and 
updates to it in the subsequent years.

Nicotine
Scientific evidence is not conclusive to 
demonstrate that nicotine occurs naturally in the 
concerned crop and to elucidate its mechanism of 
formation. When re-viewing the MRL, the 
Commission will take into account the

The following MRLs apply to dried wild 
mushrooms: 2,3 mg/kg for ceps, 1,2 mg/kg for 
dried wild mushrooms other than ceps. Recent 
monitoring data show that residues of nicotine 
occurs in dried ceps and dried wild mushrooms 
other than ceps. Scientific evidence is not 
conclusive to demonstrate that nicotine occurs 
naturally in the concerned crop and to elucidate 
its mechanism of formation. When re-viewing the 
MRL, the Commission will take into account the 
information, if it is submitted by [7 years from 
publication of measure SANTE/11466/2021], or, if 
that information is not submitted by that date, 
the lack of it.
