National Residue Surveyexport citrus program

Ian ReichsteinDirector – NRS

Program Overview

Commenced 2011 = > 2000 samples

Funded by exporters & Citrus Australia Limited

Program managed by NRS in consultation with Citrus Australia and exporters

Participating exporters: >20

Packhouses: >25

Overall Aust MRL compliance:

>99.0%

Rationale for participation

Market access and quality assurance

Increased sampling = greater export risk management

Representative sample of fruit during consignment assembly

Korea: 2016

Plan to delete methidathion MRLs for citrus

Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues: 2016

• Periodic review – not supported by the manufacturer – no data submitted• For citrus, Europe (EFSA) calculated an exceedance of acute dietary intake by 6631%

and chronic dietary intake by 301%• April 2016 recommendation may be to revoke of all Codex MRLs

• Codex MRLs for lemons and citrus revoked in 2017

Analytical capability increasing: more chemicals, lower LOR / LOQ

Strong influential consumer protection agencies

Overseas MRLs or adoption of Codex MRLs

Influence of supermarket chains in Asia: Aeon, Carrefour etc

Private standards: GlobalGap

Nil tolerances for some older chemicals eg. OPs

Asian food safety systems

Excellent report for 2017

7 years of solid residue monitoring data

Maintain awareness of differing MRLs in overseas markets

Key points
