Pears Pesticide Residues Monitoring Report 2015

This is an amalgamation of the quarterly reports

Introduction

We have surveyed pears every year since 2002 as they are widely consumed. We sampled and reported pears every quarter of 2015. A market research company bought the pear samples from retail outlets across the UK.

Conclusions Summary statement None of the residues detected by the laboratory would be expected to have an

effect on health.

Results When samples were taken

Between January and December 2015

Number of samples 96 samples were tested for up to 347 pesticide residues Origin of samples 23 samples came from the UK

15 samples were imported from outside the EU 58 samples came from the EU

Residues found 6 samples contained no residues from those sought

90 samples contained residues above the reporting level None of the samples contained residues above the MRL 3 samples were labelled as organic. None contained residues from those sought

Multiple residues 84 samples contained residues of more than one pesticide

• 19 samples contained 2 residues • 23 samples contained 3 residues • 18 samples contained 4 residues • 12 samples contained 5 residues • 8 samples contained 6 residues • 2 samples contained 7 residues • 1 sample contained 8 residues • 1 sample contained 11 residues

Risk assessments

Number of risk assessments

The laboratory detected 32 different pesticide residues. Following the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD)’s risk assessment, we do not expect these residues to have an effect on health.

Dithiocarbamates (ziram)

1 sample contained dithiocarbamates at levels where we need to consider the effect on health in more detail. The highest level detected was 0.8 mg/kg The usual non-specific approach for dithiocarbamates indicated a potential intake above the ARfD for ziram. The intakes for toddlers, infants and 4-6 year old children exceeded the ARfD. The highest intake was for toddlers. If toddlers ate or drank large portions of pears containing ziram at 1.6 mg/kg, their intake could be 170% of the Acute Reference Dose. This intake is 57 times lower than a dose which caused no observed adverse effect in a developmental rat study. The European Food Safety Authority used this study as the basis of the ARfD. Toxicologists usually apply a factor of 100 to this dose to take into account

uncertainties caused by using animal data and possible differences in susceptibility between people. We consider the reduced factor of 57 still enough to make an effect on health unlikely.

Combined risk assessments

Some samples contained residues of more than one pesticide. When samples contain more than one pesticide belonging to the groups that CRD usually assess, where toxicologists expect these to add to each other’s effect (have the same toxicological mode of action), CRD carry out a risk assessment of the combined residues. In this case CRD did not carry out any risk assessments of combined residues because the laboratory did not find residues belonging to these groups with similar toxicological modes of action in any samples.

Follow up actions

Further investigation: suspected illegal use

We have passed details of 1 sample from the UK that contained a residue of chlormequat which is not approved for use on pears in the UK to CRD. CRD is investigating; brand name details will not be published until the investigation is complete.
