The number of maximum residue limits (MRL) stipulating for pesticides exceeds 10 thousand in the 2021 version, which achieved the goal set in the “Working Plan of Improving Domestic Pesticide Residue Standard System”.

At present, the amount of pesticide species and MRL items are 564 and 10092 respectively, which are almost twice as those stipulated in Codex Alimentarius Commission (hereafter referred to as CAC standards).

In order to strengthen the supervision of imported agricultural products, the MRL of 87 unregistered pesticides are stipulated in GB 2763-2021.

In Mar. 2021, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (hereafter referred to as MOARA), National Health Commission (hereafter referred to as NHC) and State Administration for Market Regulation (hereafter referred to as SAMR) jointly unveiled the new GB standard for the maximum residue limits of pesticides in food (GB 2763-2021), which specifies the MRLs of 564 pesticides in 376 types of food, amounting to 10,092 items. It will be implemented on Sep. 3, 2021.
