  "text": "1. The foodstuffs listed in Annex to this Regulation shall not be placed on the market where they contain a contaminant listed in this Annex at a level exceeding the maximum levels set in the Annex.\nIn case of a finding of a significant residue below the maximum level set out in the Annex, it is appropriate for the competent authority to carry out investigations to confirm that the residue is present as a consequence of unavoidable carry over in the feed and not as the consequence of illegal administration of the coccidiostat or histomonostat.\nFoodstuffs complying with the maximum levels set out in the Annex shall not be mixed with foodstuffs which exceed these maximum levels.\n2. When applying the maximum levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation to foodstuffs which are dried, diluted, processed or composed of more than one ingredient, changes of the concentration of the contaminant caused by drying, diluting or processing, as well as the relative proportion of the ingredients in the product, shall be taken into account.\n3. The maximum levels established in Annex to this Regulation are without prejudice to the provisions and the MRLs established by Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and the MRLs established by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.",
