What are the health risks ?

This recall is taking place due to exceeding the MRL and ARfd of pesticides. The compounds were not specified in the health alert.

• The maximum residue limit (MRL) defines the maximum concentration permitted without risk to health even if this quantity is consumed every day for the entire life of the individual.
• The Acute reference dose (ARfD) defines the maximum quantity of substance which can be ingested by the consumer for a short period, without risk of dangerous effects for their health. Up to this concentration, there is no risk if consumed all at once or over a short period. Crossing this threshold does not necessarily lead to the appearance of dangerous health effects. The threshold is therefore defined according to a health protective approach.
