Maximum residue levels for acrinathrin
- Food safety
- Pesticide MRLs
Summary
The European Commission has reduced the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for acrinathrin to the limit of determination (LOD) from 0.02 to 0.01 mg/kg on some products. (The LOD is the lowest level that can be detected using the most modern and reliable analytical methods.) There are implications for exporters of fruits, fungi, oilseeds, sugar plants, and vegetables.
EU reduces LOD for acrinathrin on fruits, nuts, vegetables, oilseeds and oil fruits, fungi, and sugar plants
Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/352 of 22 January 2024 amending Annexes II and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for (Z)-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate, (Z,Z,Z,Z)-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate, acrinathrin, azimsulfuron, famoxadone, prochloraz and sodium hypochlorite in or on certain products
Update
The European Commission has reduced the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for acrinathrin to the limit of determination (LOD) from 0.02 to 0.01 mg/kg on some products. (The LOD is the lowest level that can be detected using the most modern and reliable analytical methods.) There are implications for exporters of fruits, fungi, oilseeds, sugar plants, and vegetables.
Impacted Products
sugar beet, sugar cane, chicory roots, oilseeds, oil fruits, fungi, fruits, nuts, vegetables
What is changing?
The European Commission has lowered the LOD for acrinathrin on certain products from 0.02 to 0.01 mg/kg.
Why?
Since 31 December 2021, acrinathrin is no longer permitted for use in the EU. The existing MRLs set for this substance have therefore been deleted and set to the LOD.
Timeline
The new MRLs will apply from 12 August 2024.
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.
