Draft Ministry of Public Health Notification (MOPH), No. ... B.E. ..., entitled "Food Containing Pesticide Residues (Pesticide Residues in Food) (No. 5)" |
| Summary |
For consumer protection, the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) is proposing to revise the MOPH notification concerning the maximum residue level of pesticides in food through a risk-based framework focused on either short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) exposures using Thai food consumption data and field trial data.
The main elements of the draft MOPH notification are as follows:
1. Revision of the MRLs/EMRLs set forth in Annexes 2 and 4 of the MOPH notification;
2. Revision of the Default limit set forth in Annex 3 of the MOPH notification;
3. Addition of the provision "In cases other than those specified in Annexes 2 and 4 and Codex, the pesticide residues in food shall not exceed the ASEAN MRLs".
This MOPH notification shall come into force after the date of its publication in the Government Gazette.
