+)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. Food business operators should develop a new cleaning methodology to limit the contamination of untreated potatoes. This temporary MRL will be reviewed based on monitoring data submitted to the Commission by 31 December 2021 and thereafter by 31 December of each subsequent year. A report on the development and implementation of cleaning practices should be submitted to the Commission together with the monitoring data by 31 December 2021, and updates to it in the subsequent years.

 

No transitional rules will apply.
