In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Commission requested EFSA to assess whether the existing temporary maximum residue levels (MRLs) for nicotine in rose hips, teas and capers are sufficiently protective for European consumers, based on the risk assessment model currently used for pesticide risk assessments (EFSA PRIMo rev. 3.1). In its assessment, EFSA noted potential acute exposure risks for the intake of nicotine through rose hips and tea; EFSA recommended to lower the existing MRLs for these two commodities to levels that do not lead to an exceedance of the ARfD. For capers, EFSA concluded that the existing MRL is unlikely to lead to acute intake concerns. The risk assessment for the three food commodities under assessment is affected by additional, non-standard uncertainties.
根据欧盟委员会第396/2005号法规第43条，欧盟委员会要求欧洲食品安全局基于目前用于农药风险评估的风险评估模型（欧洲食品安全局农药风险评估模型第3.1版修订版），评估玫瑰果、茶叶和刺山柑中尼古丁的现有临时最大残留限量（MRLs）对欧洲消费者是否具有充分的保护作用。在评估过程中，欧洲食品安全局指出通过玫瑰果和茶叶摄入尼古丁存在潜在的急性暴露风险；欧洲食品安全局建议将这两种商品的现有最大残留限量降低至不会导致超过急性参考剂量（ARfD）的水平。对于刺山柑，欧洲食品安全局得出结论认为，现有最大残留限量不太可能引发急性摄入问题。所评估的这三种食品商品的风险评估受到其他非标准不确定性因素的影响。
