Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
/// unofficial translation: In the present sample of guavas, a content of the plant protection product dimethoate was detected which safely exceeds the maximum residue level set in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005, even taking into account an expanded measurement uncertainty of 50%. The measurement result was confirmed by a second independent test. The determined level of dimethoate leads to an exceedance of the ARfD (EFSA PRIMo, NL Children: 684%) in the considered population using the provisional ARfD (EFSA et al., 2018 [1]). Therefore, a health risk from consumption of the sample cannot be excluded. [1] EFSA, Arena, M., Auteri, D., Barmaz, S., Brancato, A., Brocca, D., et al. (2018). Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance dimethoate. EFSA Journal 16(10): 29 pp.
