5.2.1 Default MRLs
For substances that are not included in any of the annexes in EU regulations, a default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg normally applies. Default MRLs apply with the Codex and in Japan, but at the time of writing have yet to be set in the USA.
It is interesting to note that for at least one registered AI (fipronil and its metabolite), the MRL is even lower than default.
