This study investigates the potential transfer of fungicides to apples stored in bins made from wood treated with the anti-sapstain fungicides Antiblu® CC, containing carbendazim and chlorothalonil, and Antiblu® 375, containing oxine copper as an active ingredient. The analysis examines residues of chlorothalonil, carbendazim, and copper in apples exposed in mini-bins made from anti-sapstain treated wood under various scenarios. The results from this preliminary study indicate there is minimal risk of transfer of the fungicides to the fruit, supporting the suitability of the combination of Antiblu® CC and Antiblu® 375 for food contact applications.
