Hi All,

I have difficulty finding limits on antibiotics, banned chemicals and restrictions on the use of seafood products in the EU market. Can someone help me?

For the limits, I suspect you want the Annex ('Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits') to Regulation (EU) 37/2010.

This regulation applies to all foods of animal origin, so you will see that for some substances they're marked as applying to specific animal origins only, or different limits for different animal types etc.

Thank you, I consulted EU regulation 27/2010 but I did not find the limit of Fosfomycin

Hello.

Fosfomycin is not listed in the annex to Regulation EC 37/2010, which means that no maximum residue limit has been established for this drug.

The absence of an MRL means that its use in food-producing animals is not authorized in Europe.

This is due to the problem of resistance in human medicine.

Phosphonic acid derivatives (fosfomycin) are included on the WHO's list of critically important antimicrobials.
