* Indicates lower limit of analytical determination.
|
| |
(1) In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 per cent or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0.01 mg/kg.
|
| |
(2) In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 per cent by weight should be taken as a basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat.
|
| |
For the other foodstuffs listed in Annex 1 under heading Nos. 0401, 0402, 0405 00 and 0406:
|
| |
—with a fat content of less than 2 per cent by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk,
|
| |
—with a fat content of 2 per cent or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed m mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk.
|
| |
(3) For eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 per cent the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs.
|
| |
(4) Footnotes (1),(2) and (3) do not apply in cases where the lower limit of analytical determination is indicated.
