Summary of the evaluation

The Codex MRL of 50 μg/kg established for cattle, sheep and pig muscle is suitable for the control of residue in muscle and fillet of finfish species.
The Committee recommended MRLs of 50 μg/kg for amoxicillin in muscle, or muscle and skin in natural proportions of fin fish.
