The document provides guidelines for establishing maximum residue limits (MRLs) of pesticides and veterinary drugs in foods in Korea. It outlines the scope and application process for setting MRLs, including requirements for submitting toxicity and residue data to support MRL applications. It aims to clarify procedures and improve transparency around MRL establishment for domestic and international stakeholders.

Residues and How to Avoid Them: It's Black and White- Mike ApleyDAIReXNET
Dr. Mike Apley presented this material on November 10, 2011 as part of DAIReXNET's webinar entitled "Appropriate Drug Use and Residue Avoidance Practices."
Pesticides are important input to modern agriculture and also used in public health in controlling communicable disease.
The toxicity of these compounds poses risk to human health, environment and to the organisms which may not be targeted by pesticides.
The effect of pesticides and their mobility depend upon their chemical and physical properties, soil characteristics, groundwater infiltrations and vadose zone behaviour, vegetation and local weather conditions. They resist degradation by chemical, physical or biological means.
“There is no sort of lower standard or different standard used for pesticide products,” says Angus Cameron, a former manager of the firm Inveresk Research International in Scotland, where many of the human tests have been conducted.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Establishment of pesticide MRLs in Foods
MRLs have been established for specific crops or crop groups,
and processed foods in Korea.
For example, a MRL for Tetraconazole was established for
pome fruit (a crop group) and dried red pepper(a processed
food).

3. Pesticide MRLs in Korea
•Pesticide MRLs have been established for 431 pesticides
and 213 commodities in Korea.
4. Applicability of pesticide MRLs
If a MRL is not established,
– Generally, the pesticide not resisted in Korea should not be
detected in foods. Non-detection levels are determined from
LOQ of the analytical method.
– If a pesticide, where residue limit for an agricultural product was
not established, is detected in the product, the following tentative
limits shall be applied.
First, the Codex standard shall be applied.
Second, the lowest of the MRL in question specified for similar
agricultural products shall be applied. (See the similar products
in Classification of Food Raw Material in Korea Food Code.)
Third, lowest of the MRL, among MRLs of the pesticide detected,
shall apply to the detected pesticide.
5. v Example of Classification of Fruits for pesticide MRL

foods in Korea.
For example, a MRL for Gentamicin was established for cattle,
pig, chicken and fish
(1) Gentamicin
Cattle muscle 0.1 Pig muscle 0.1 Chicken muscle 0.1
Cattle liver 2.0 Pig liver 2.0 Chicken liver 0.1

Veterinary drug residue DB : http://fse.foodnara.go.kr/residue/vd/index.jsp
7. Veterinary drug in Korea
• MRLs have been established for 156 veterinary drug and 60
foods in Korea.
8. Applicability of veterinary drug MRLs
If a MRL is not established,
– Generally, the veterinary drug not registed in Korea should
not be detected in foods. Non-detection levels are
determined from LOQ of the analytical method.
– If a veterinary drug, where residue limit for an livestock or
fishery product was not established, is detected in the
product, the following tentative limits shall be applied.
First, the Codex standard shall be applied.
Second, Application of the lowest residue limits in the area
of the similar edible animals (only, horse, non-ruminant,
shall follow the standard for ruminant)
Third, antibiotics and synthetic antibiotic substances in
livestock and fishery products (including milk and eggs),
and honey (including royal jelly and propolis) shall be
limited to 0.03 mg/kg.

12. Promoting New regulations in Korea
v Positive list system(PLS) will be adopted.
Background
– Increasing food imports, accuracy of risk assessment
has been challenged due to the fact that the imported
foods are applied with MRLs in codex or tentative
residue limits in similar agriculture products, livestock
products and aquatic products.
– So, it is necessary to evaluate the safety of the
pesticides, which compounds are not registered in
Korea, to protect human health.
13. Recently, the following works have being processed.
– The MRLs before 2000 were adopted from MRLs of foreign
countries, not based on scientific data. So, the MRLs should be
re-evaluated for safety.
• The pesticide and veterinary drug MRLs, which are not
registered in Korea, are planned to be deleted from Korea
Food Code.
• See Withdrawn MRLs List (next presentation)
– Exemption list will be considered and developed.
– The compounds that should not be detected in foods will be listed
as the compound can be harmful to human health.
18. The compounds that should not be detected
in foods
v Veterinary drug list that shall be not detected (example)
No. Forbidden Veterinary drugs in foods
Nitrofurans and its derivatives
1
(Furazolidone, Furaltadone, Nitrofurazone, Nitrofurantoine, Nitrovin etc)
2 Chloramphenicol
3 Malachite green and its derivatives
4 Diethylstilbestrol, DES
5 Dimetridazole
6 Clenbuterol
7 Vancomycin
8 Chlorpromazine
9 Thiouracil
10 Colchicine
11 Pyrimethamine
12 Medroxyprogesterone acetate, MPA
19. – If a country or producing company which object to re-
evaluate a compound, they are able to request the import
tolerance.
– It is expected that more than of 150 import tolerances will
be requested in 2012.
– As re-evaluating the MRLs of pesticide, the MRLs will be
revised and established reasonably and harmoniously
with the Codex MRLs.
– Group MRLs will be extended.
– The methods using GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS will be
established for detecting pesticide and veterinary drug
residues
20. – Comments on the PLS will be collected from
consumers, producers and importers.
– It is planed to make an administration notice after
gathering the information for PLS, and collect the
comments for 2 years.

22. v Recently, KFDA has provided the Guidelines on MRLs
for Pesticides and Veterinary Drugs in Food
The purpose of guidelines is…
– To clarify procedures of establishment of MRLs, and to improve
scientific transparency and predictability in establishment of
MRLs to related companies

39. FAQ: Import Tolerance
1) Do you have any form for the application?
A: In, Korea Food Code [Appendix 8] Guidelines for Establishment of
Pesticide and Veterinary Drug MRLs in Food. The application should be
filled in Korean.
2) To whom should the application filed?
A: The application should be submitted to our division (Food standard
division), Korea Food & Drug Administration.
3) Anyone who has not legal entity in Korea, could apply the petition
directly?
A: Anyone can apply the import tolerance directly, But should be
available to contact with us (phone, e-mail, etc.).
4) English is acceptable?
A: Yes, English report is acceptable including the data. But, summary
report should be written in Korean.
40. FAQ: Import Tolerance
5) The necessary information/data might be different between pesticides,
which the Korean domestic registration is existed (already reviewed the
toxicity data) or not.
May we understand that only the residue data would be sufficient for the
application of the import MRLs?
A : When the pesticide already resisted for the other commodities, the
residue data is sufficient for the application of the import MRLs
6) How long it will take for the review and establishment of import MRLs
after the application?
A : It will be take 365 days for a new compound, and 210 days for
the additional establishment or alleviation of MRL.
