EU regulations on Propylene Oxide Treatment

Hi all, my apologies for posting this under BRC. It seemed the most EU centric place to put it. My facility handles a bulk commodity. We often treat this product with steam or PPO as a kill step. I'm now hearing that the EU does not allow PPO as a treatment. Perhaps a long shot, but does anyone here know of such a thing? Would you be kind enough to cite applicable EU regulations if that is that case? I've been striking out online all day trying to verify this. I appreciate the help.

Following this too.  We have potential customers in the EU and like you, sometimes use PPO as a kill step. 

A rep from our trade organization got back to me and said the EU has not established a MRL for PPO. This being the case, a default MRL of .01PPM is applied. They technically haven't approved it for use and any product shipped to EU must meet the minimum PPO default tolerance or .01PPM. Seems it's a bit of a gray area. Unsure you were aware of this. Thought maybe it would help.
