Fipronil is an insecticide which is not approved for use in any food-producing animal species in the European Union (EU). However, the inappropriate use of fipronil in mites' disinfestation products utilized in poultry farms in the Netherlands and other EU countries in 2017, led to the detection of residues of this pesticide in eggs across Europe. In Italy, a national monitoring plan was established to verify the possible misuse of fipronil in Italian laying hens. Out of 577 sampled farms, 23 eggs resulted contaminated (4.0%; 95% CI: 2.7%-5.9%). A higher prevalence of contamination was observed in flocks kept on cage (8.7%; 95% CI: 6.0% -12.4%) than on ground (1.6%; 95% CI: 0.7% -3.7%); Chi-square = 16.1; P <0.001). The results allowed developing a stochastic model for estimating the risk of fipronil ingestion through the consumption of contaminated table eggs for the Italian consumer. The probability that an individual ingests a dose of fipronil greater than the acute reference dose (ARfD, equal to 0.009 mg/kg body weight) was assessed as very low, ranging from values very close to 0 in people with more than 10 years of age and 0.0007 in infants less than 3 years.
氟虫腈是一种杀虫剂，在欧盟任何食用动物物种中均未获批准使用。然而，2017年荷兰和其他欧盟国家的家禽养殖场在用于螨虫防治的产品中不当使用氟虫腈，导致欧洲各地的鸡蛋中检测到这种农药残留。在意大利，制定了一项国家监测计划，以核查意大利蛋鸡中氟虫腈的可能滥用情况。在577个抽样养殖场中，有23枚鸡蛋被污染（4.0%；95%置信区间：2.7%-5.9%）。笼养家禽的污染发生率（8.7%；95%置信区间：6.0%-12.4%）高于地面养殖家禽（1.6%；95%置信区间：0.7%-3.7%）；卡方检验=16.1；P<0.001）。这些结果有助于建立一个随机模型，用于估计意大利消费者通过食用受污染食用鸡蛋摄入氟虫腈的风险。评估个体摄入大于急性参考剂量（ARfD，等于0.009毫克/千克体重）的氟虫腈剂量的概率非常低，在10岁以上人群中非常接近0，在3岁以下婴儿中为0.0007。
