根據歐盟委員會第396/2005號法規第6章， BASF SE 向奧地利國家主管部門提交申請，要求制定氟蟲腈在馬鈴薯、甘蔗和動物源性產品中的進口限量。經過評估，歐盟食品安全局得出結論，消費者攝入問題與所考慮的食品中的氟蟲腈殘留無關。歐盟沒有批準氟蟲腈，歐盟MRL立法也沒有規定氟蟲腈的最高殘留限量或進口允許量；因此，在消費者接觸評估中沒有考慮其他植物和動物商品。部分原文報道如下：

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant BASF SE submitted a request to the competent national authority in Austria to set an import tolerance for the active substance fipronil in potatoes, maize, rice, sugar canes and to modify the existing EU MRLs (maximum residue levels) for fipronil in commodities of animal origin. During the assessment, the applicant withdrew the import tolerance requests on maize and rice. The data submitted in support of the present assessment were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposal for sugar canes. For potatoes, data gaps were identified which precluded the derivation of MRL proposal. The livestock exposure to fipronil residues from the intake of sugar canes molasses required the setting of MRL in fat of bovine, sheep and goat. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the total residues of fipronil in plant and animal matrices at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) 0.005 mg/kg. based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that consumer intake concerns are not associated with fipronil residues in food commodities under consideration: sugar canes and fat of bovine, sheep and goat. There are no EU authorisations of fipronil as well as no Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) or import tolerances are set for fipronil in the EU MRL legislation; therefore, other plant and animal commodities were not considered in the consumer exposure assessment.
