Mepanipyrim Mepanipyrim was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as there is no registered use of mepanipyrim in Australia. Meptyldinocap Meptyldinocap was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as there is no registered use of meptyldinocap in AustraliaError! Bookmark not defined.. Mesotrione Mesotrione was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as there is no registered use of mesotrione in Australia. Metalaxyl (Metalaxyl-M) (Mefenoxam) An MRL of 0.05 mg/kg for all other foods except animal food commodities for metalaxyl was gazetted in 2017 and is currently listed in Schedule 20. This MRL was reviewed as part of M1015 and no change is proposed. Metconazole Metconazole was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as there is no registered use of metconazole in Australia. Methidathion An All other foods except animal food commodities MRL of 0.02 mg/kg is proposed based on the following considerations: Considerations Comments Limit of determination (LOD) 0.01 mg/kg (indicated by * on existing MRLs) Lowest plant commodity MRL *0.01 mg/kg Magnitude of existing plant commodity MRLs The range of existing MRLs is *0.01 mg/kg (Cereal grains; Garlic; Macadamia nuts; Onion, bulb; Potato; Stone fruits) to 5 mg/kg (Mandarins) Lowest plant commodity MRL that is not the LOD 0.1 mg/kg Most relevant reference point to minimise off-label use 0.1 mg/kg Consumption amount used in NEDI calculation for All other foods except animal commodities 34.45 g/kg bw/day Chronic dietary exposure (NEDI) considering existing permissions only 67% of the ADI Proposed All other foods except animal commodities MRL1 0.02 mg/kg NEDI including All other foods except animal commodities MRL and existing permissions 71% of the ADI Percentage contribution of All other foods except animal commodities to total chronic dietary exposure An All other foods except animal commodities MRL of 0.02 mg/kg represents a contribution of 5% to total dietary exposure which is within the 20% target, and is considered
Mevinphos A dietary exposure assessment was not required for mevinphos as the request was for a reduction in the existing commodity MRL. An All other foods except animal food commodities MRL for mevinphos is not under consideration at this point in time. Naled A dietary exposure assessment was not required for naled as the request was for the deletion of the chemical from Schedule 20. An All other foods except animal food commodities MRL for naled is not under consideration at this point in time. Oxadixyl An All other foods except animal food commodities MRL of 0.1 mg/kg is proposed based on the following considerations: Considerations Comments Limit of determination (LOD) 0.01 Lowest plant commodity MRL 0.5 mg/kg Magnitude of existing plant commodity MRLs The range of existing MRLs is 0.5 mg/kg (Fruiting vegetables, Cucurbits; Onion, bulb) to 5 mg/kg (Leafy vegetables). Lowest plant commodity MRL that is not the LOD 0.5 mg/kg Most relevant reference point to minimise off-label use 0.5 mg/kg Consumption amount used in NEDI calculation for All other foods except animal commodities 43.45 g/kg bw/day Chronic dietary exposure (NEDI) considering existing permissions only 45% of the ADI Proposed All other foods except animal commodities MRL1 0.1 mg/kg NEDI including All other foods except animal commodities MRL and existing permissions 50% of the ADI Percentage contribution of All other foods except animal commodities to total chronic dietary exposure Although An All other foods except animal commodities MRL of 0.2 could have been established as at this limit it contributed <20% to total dietary exposure, this limit was not considered practical. An All other foods except animal commodities MRL of 0.1 mg/kg represents a contribution of 8% to total dietary exposure which is within the 20% target and is considered acceptable. Acute dietary exposure assessment (NESTI) An acute dietary exposure assessment is considered unnecessary for oxadixyl because the APVMA and JMPR consider an ARfD unnecessary. Conclusion After considering the principles established and agreed in FSANZ proposal P1027, an All other foods except animal commodities MRL of 0.1 mg/kg is acceptable because it has been shown to be practical, adequately manages the risk of off-label use and does not increase the level of concern about the risk to public health.
Spinosad A dietary exposure assessment was not required for spinosad as the request was for the deletion of existing commodity MRLs. Therefore, spinosad was not considered for an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL. Spirodiclofen Spirodiclofen was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as there is no registered use of spirodiclofen in Australia. Spiromesifen Spiromesifen was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as it is not listed in Schedule 20, and there is no registered use of spiromesifen in Australia. Spirotetramat An MRL of 0.1 mg/kg for all other foods except animal food commodities for spirotetramat has already been established and is currently listed in Schedule 20. This MRL was reviewed as part of M1015 and no change is proposed. Sulfentrazone Sulfentrazone was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as there are no registered uses of sulfentrazone in AustraliaError! Bookmark not defined.. Sulfoxaflor An MRL of 0.01 mg/kg for all other foods except animal food commodities for sulfoxaflor has already been established and is listed in Schedule 20. This MRL was not reviewed as part of M1015 as sulfoxaflor was not considered in M1015 because the harmonisation request is already listed in Schedule 20. Teflubenzuron Teflubenzuron was excluded from consideration of an All other foods except animal food commodities MRL as it is not listed in Schedule 20, and there is no registered use of teflubenzuron in Australia. Tetraconazole An All other foods except animal food commodities MRL of 0.02 mg/kg is proposed based on the following considerations: Considerations Comments Limit of determination (LOD) 0.02 mg/kg (as indicated by * in the European Union pesticide database) Lowest plant commodity MRL 0.5 mg/kg Magnitude of existing plant commodity MRLs There is currently only one plant commodity MRL (0.5 mg/kg) for grapes listed in Schedule 20.
