In accordance with the requirements of the European Union (EU) 2019/1871 "Limits for the determination of residues of banned drugs in foods of animal origin", from November 28, 2022, the new standards
will be implemented for the determination limits for the residues of veterinary drugs such as chloramphenicol, nitrofuran metabolites, malachite green and other veterinary drug residues in foods of animal origin in the EU.

01
Brief introduction to the European Union (EU) Regulation 2019/1871
The European Union (EU) Regulation 2019/1871 aims to provide official control over foods of animal origin by establishing reference values known as "limit values"
for the amount of pharmaceutical residues in foods of animal origin.
The Regulation applies not only to foods of animal origin produced in the EU, but also to foods of animal origin imported from third countries
.
Regardless of the matrix for the testing of food of animal origin imported from a third country, if the residual concentration of the drug reaches or exceeds the determination limit, it is considered non-compliant with EU law and will be banned from the EU market

Major changes in drug residue determination limits
Annex I of the European Union (EU) 2019/1871 Regulation "Determination Limits (RPA)" adjusted the limits for the determination of chloramphenicol, malachite green (including malachite green and recessive malachite green), nitrofuran and their metabolites, while the detection of nitrofuran and its metabolites was increased from the original 4 (furazolidone metabolite AOZ, furatazone metabolite AMOZ, nitrofurantoin metabolite AHD, furanxilin metabolite SEM) to 5, and nitrofuran sol metabolite DNSH was added
。 The requirements for each measurement limit are detailed in the table below:

Mainly related to foods of animal origin
The scope of application of the European Union (EU) 2019/1871 regulation includes all foods of animal origin, so all foods of animal origin exported from China to the EU must meet the requirements of the drug residue determination limits in the regulation
.
.
On December 20, 2002, the European Commission issued the Commission Resolution on the Development of Special Protective Measures for Foods of Animal Origin Imported from China (2002/994/EC), in which member states allowed the import of products listed in Part 2 of the Annex to the resolution (poultry and meat products), and according to the 2015 amendments, the EU has allowed the export
of aquaculture products, shelled and processed shrimp, crayfish, casings, rabbit meat, poultry products, eggs and egg products, honey and royal jelly 。 In addition to chloramphenicol and nitrofuran metabolites, the above-mentioned animal-derived foods should be batched for detection of malachite green and crystal violet

Responses for EU manufacturers
The EU's new drug residue determination limits have been officially effective since November 28, 2022, and in order to ensure the quality and safety of animal-derived foods exported from China to the EU, it is recommended that relevant export enterprises take countermeasures
as soon as possible.
as soon as possible.
Actively communicate with EU customers
Understand the implementation of relevant laws and regulations of EU countries, reasonably arrange production and delivery plans, and assess and prevent trade risks
in advance.
in advance.
Strengthen product quality source control
Strengthen the quality and safety control of processed raw materials, ensure that every link of the supply chain meets the requirements, and eliminate potential quality and safety hazards
from the source.
from the source.
Update the enterprise self-inspection and self-control system
For food of animal origin exported to the EU, it should be tested in accordance with the latest limit requirements, and a risk assessment should be carried out on the residues of the corresponding tested substances to ensure that the relevant residues of the products comply with the EU "determination limits"
.
.
Pay attention to the effective time
The directive came into force on November 28, which means that all products manufactured from November 28 should meet the new limits
.
It should be noted that products that have been produced before, but have not yet completed inspection and quarantine and issued a health certificate, should also meet the requirements of the new limit

Pay attention to the customs clearance of products in the EU in a timely manner
If the enterprise encounters the situation that customs clearance in the EU is blocked, it should understand the specific reasons and solutions in detail, and report the relevant situation to the local customs in a timely manner, so as to facilitate diplomatic involvement and help the enterprise solve the problem
