Summary of the evaluation

The Committee recommended an MRL of 50 µg/kg for ampicillin in finfish muscle and in finfish muscle plus skin in natural proportion, the same as that recommended for amoxicillin, because the modes of action, the physicochemical properties and the toxicological and pharmacokinetic profiles of amoxicillin and ampicillin are very similar.
