Ministerial Decree No. 244/2016 regarding the Maximum Residue Limits of Pesticides in Food and Feed |

The Ministerial Decree repeals (139) Egyptian standards concerning the maximum residue limits of pesticides. It mandates the use of the Maximum Residue Limits listed in the Codex database "Codex Pesticides Residues in Food" issued by Codex Alimentarius Commission.
In case the Codex database does not include a certain value of Pesticides Residues or a certain agriculture product, the values listed in the EU pesticides database issued by the European Commission shall be used. If the European Commission has no adopted values, the tolerance values determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shall apply.
In case of the absence of the allowed maximum pesticide residue limit values for any agricultural crop or product, the maximum pesticide limit values of the nearest group of agricultural crops or products shall be used in the same sequence mentioned above.
