Summary
The European Commission has increased the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for flupyradifurone on certain stone fruits and other fruits, vegetables, cereals, and animal products.
EU increases MRLs for flupyradifurone on various products
Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/2640 of 9 October 2024 amending and correcting Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene, difluoroacetic acid (DFA), fluopyram and flupyradifurone in or on certain products
Update
The European Commission has increased the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for flupyradifurone on certain stone fruits and other fruits, vegetables, cereals, and animal products.
Impacted Products
Apricots, peaches, plums, cherries, cranberries, currants, gooseberries, rose hips, mulberries, azaroles, elderberries, mangoes, papayas, Chinese cabbages/ pe-tsai, kales, herbs and edible flowers, chervil, chives, celery leaves, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil and edible flowers, laurel/ bay leaves, tarragon, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, common millet, oats, rye, fat, liver, kidney, edible offals from pigs, honey
What is changing?
The EU has increased the MRLs for flupyradifurone as summarised in Table 1.
Why?
Following a request to review the MRLs for flupyradifurone and to set import tolerances, EFSA (2023) did not identify a consumer health risk. The EU therefore proposes to adopt higher MRLs to avoid trade barriers when importing these crops.
Timeline
The new MRLs apply from 30 April 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.
