FEED (8)

(1) The code number is introduced by this Annex and is intended to set a classification under this and other related Annexes of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) The scientific name of the items listed in the column “Examples of individual products within the groups to which the MRLs apply”, where possible and relevant, is

mentioned. As much as possible the International System of Nomenclature is followed.

(3) The word “others” covers anything not explicitly mentioned under the rest of the codes within “Groups to which the MRLs apply”.
(4) MRLs in Annex II and III for the product apply only for the product when used for human consumption. For parts of the product used exclusively as ingredients for

animal feed, separate MRLs will be applicable.

(5) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of meat (including fat),
preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3)
the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of fat contained in the meat, preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by
weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no
less than 0,01 mg/kg. The latter does not apply for cow’s milk and whole cream cow’s milk. It applies neither for the other products when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(6) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is /are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of milk and milk
products. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of
cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk. In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a
basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat. For the other foodstuffs listed with a fat content of
less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk, with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level
is expressed in mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at
the LOD.

(7) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs,
for bird's eggs and egg yolks; Where the pesticide/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is also
expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird's eggs and egg yolks. However, 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. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the
LOD.

(8) MRLs not applicable until the individual products are identified and listed.’
