Maximum Residue Limits for Pirlimycin (92)

Species Tissues MRL Notes Year
Cattle Fat 100 µg/kg
Cattle Muscle 100 µg/kg
Cattle Liver 1000 µg/kg
Cattle Kidney 400 µg/kg
Cattle Milk 200 µg/kg
JECFA evaluated the effect of pirlimycin residues on starter cultures and for this reason recommended an MRL of 100 µg/kg of milk. Codex Members may therefore adapt national/regional MRLs in order to address this technological aspect for trade of fresh liquid milk intended for processing using starter culture.
