EU raises MRLs for flonicamid on Chinese cabbages, kales, and kohlrabies
Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/1078 of 15 April 2024 amending Annexes II and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for azoxystrobin, flonicamid, isofetamid, mefentrifluconazole, metazachlor, pyrimethanil and quartz sand in or on certain products
Update
The EU has raised the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for flonicamid on Chinese cabbages, kales, and kohlrabies
Impacted Products
Chinese cabbages, kales, kohlrabies
What is changing?
The EU has raised the MRLs for:
- leafy brassicas (Chinese cabbages and kales) from 0.03 to 0.5 mg/kg
- kohlrabies from 0.03 to 0.15 mg/kg.
Why?
Following an application to modify the MRL, the EU agreed that data from residue trials on kales could be extrapolated to set MRLs on other leafy brassicas. No safety evaluation by EFSA was required.
Timeline
The new MRLs will apply from 6 May 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.
