Note: (*) indicates that the maximum residue level has been set at or about the limit of analytical quantification. MPI also proposes to add the following exceptions from MRLs to the MRL Notice: Mixtures of chito-oligosaccharides and oligogalacturonans, for use on fruits and vegetables; Ozone, for use as an agricultural chemical; Polyoxin D zinc salt, for use as an agricultural chemical; Prohydrojasmon, when used as a colour enhancer on apples. And to amend existing exceptions as follows: Amend the entry for "Microbial Pesticide Organisms" to change the classification of these substances to "Microbial Active Ingredients"; Amend the entry for "Bismuth and its salts" to include the use of intramammary teat sealants in cattle. Finally, MPI have proposed to amend the residue definitions for the following compounds: Emamectin, to harmonise with overseas trading partners and Codex; Indoxacarb, to harmonise with the current definition set by Codex; Prothioconazole, to harmonise it with the current definition set by Codex in 2008; Trinexapac-ethyl, to correct errors in the current Notice entry.
