EU raises MRLs for tefluthrin on certain roots and tubers
Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/1305 of 2 July 2025 amending Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for amidosulfuron, azoxystrobin, hexythiazox, isoxaben, picloram, propamocarb, sodium silver thiosulfate and tefluthrin in or on certain products
Update
The European Union (EU) has increased the maximum residue level (MRL) for tefluthrin on certain roots and tubers.
Impacted Products
Horseradishes, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley roots/Hamburg root parsley, salsifies
What is changing?
The EU has raised the MRL for tefluthrin from 0.01 to 0.08 mg/kg on horseradishes, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley roots, and salsifies.
Why?
A request to modify the MRL on certain roots and tubers was submitted using the fast-track procedure. Because the data supporting the MRL for carrots can be extrapolated to horseradishes, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley roots, and salsifies, the request was accepted by the European Commission.
Timeline
The new MRLs apply from 23 July 2025.
Background
MRLs are set in accordance with the rules set out in Regulation 396/2005. For information on current MRLs for other substances, please consult the EU Pesticide Residues database.
