- Pesticide MRLs
Summary
The European Union (EU) has raised the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cyantraniliprole on blackberries, dewberries, raspberries, avocados, pulses (beans, lentils, peas, lupins), teas, and bird eggs, in line with Codex Alimentarius MRLs (CXLs) adopted in 2024.
EU raises cyantraniliprole MRLs on certain products in line with Codex standards
Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/1164 of 13 June 2025 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for cyantraniliprole, cyflumetofen, deltamethrin, mefentrifluconazole, mepiquat and oxathiapiprolin in or on certain products
Update
The European Union (EU) has raised the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cyantraniliprole on blackberries, dewberries, raspberries, avocados, pulses (beans, lentils, peas, lupins), teas, and bird eggs, in line with Codex Alimentarius MRLs (CXLs) adopted in 2024.
Impacted Products
Avocados, beans, bird eggs, blackberries, dewberries, lentils, lupins/lupini beans, peas, raspberries, teas
What is changing?
The EU has raised the MRLs for cyantraniliprole as summarised in Table 1.
Why?
In November 2024, new CXLs were adopted for cyantraniliprole (CAC 2024a). The EU has now aligned its MRLs with these CXLs, except for dry beans and grapes, where the EU expressed reservations to the Codex Alimentarius Commission due to inconsistencies in the scientific data (CAC 2024b).
Timeline
The new MRLs for cyantraniliprole apply from 6 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.
