Since 1 February 2018, the new pesticide residue intake model “PRIMo Model EFSA Rev 3” has been in force.
\nThis file compiles consumption data provided by the various Member States of the European Union and is used to assess dietary risks from pesticide residues, particularly when setting or revising an MRL.
\nThe model can be used to assess both acute and chronic risk to the consumer.
\nThis tool was recently updated with editorial changes and corrections to the input values used to calculate exposure assessments.<\/p>\n
The following changes were made:
\n– A new spreadsheet has been added to convert MRLs derived from the European Commission database into a format compatible with the EFSA PRIMo
\n– Correction of a number of data relating to a large part of the consumption (PL) data reported by a Member State
\n– Correction of unit weight data reported by a Member State
\n– Correction of the ARfD calculation (additional information for risk managers)
\n– Correction of the calculation of the residue threshold in processed products (cases 2a and 2b of the IESTI)
\n– Editorial changes.<\/p>\n
The short-term toxicological assessment annexes developed by our laboratory (ARfD Annex) have been revised to take into account the changes in consumption data.<\/p>\n
These annexes are produced as part of pesticide residue analysis, on matrices identified in Annex I of Regulation No 396\/2005, and upon request.<\/p>\n
