Maximum Residue Level (MRL) 1
Maximum Residue Level (MRL) 1 :
The maximum concentration of a pesticide residue (expressed as mg/kg) legally permitted in or on food commodities and animal feeds. MRLs are based on good agricultural practice data (GAP), and residues in foods derived from commodities that comply with the respective MRLs are intended to be toxicologically acceptable. MRLs are intended primarily as a check that GAP is being followed and to assist international trade in produce treated with pesticides. MRLs are not in themselves 'safety limits', and exposure to residues in excess of an MRL does not automatically imply a hazard to health. The?MRLsapplicable in the UK are now set under EC legislation. Website link: Further Information on MRLs
