APC Releases New Quarterly Maximum Residue Limits and Contaminants Report

December 04, 2025

We are happy to share with industry members our first Global Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and Contaminants Updates. The first in a new series of reports to serve as a practical reference for exporters, shellers, growers, researchers, and stakeholders to protect the pecan export trade.

As pecans expand into new export markets, there is a growing need to adapt to changing food regulations. In fact, there are numerous MRLs and contaminants proposed, revised, and changed each year. This report summarizes the potential changes to MRLs for pesticides and contaminant substances used in pecan production and processing across major export markets. It aims to help growers, processors, and exporters understand what’s allowed in different countries, so they can make informed decisions about the use of certain growing and shelling inputs and how they affect export compliance.
