Maximum residue levels for fuberidazole
- Pesticide MRLs
Summary
The European Commission decided to lower the limit of determination (LOD) for fuberidazole to 0.01 mg/kg for some cereals – wheat, rye, oats, and barley. (The LOD is the lowest level that can be detected using the most modern and reliable analytical methods.)
EU sets MRLs for fuberidazole at the LOD for all products
Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/1163 of 13 June 2025 amending Annexes II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for chlorpropham, fuberidazole, ipconazole, methoxyfenozide, S-metolachlor and triflusulfuron in or on certain products
Update
The European Commission decided to lower the limit of determination (LOD) for fuberidazole to 0.01 mg/kg for some cereals – wheat, rye, oats, and barley. (The LOD is the lowest level that can be detected using the most modern and reliable analytical methods.)
Impacted Products
wheat, rye, oats, barley
What is changing?
The EU set the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for fuberidazole to the LOD for all products. It also lowered the LOD for all cereals to 0.01 mg/kg. Therefore the LODs for wheat, rye, oats, and barley will change from 0.05 to 0.01 mg/kg.
Why?
As fuberidazole is no longer permitted for use in the EU, all MRLs are set at the product-specific LODs.
Timeline
The new MRLs apply from 6 January 2026.
Recommended Actions
Laboratories testing for fuberidazole in products for export to the EU market should verify that their analytical methods are able to test at the proposed new LODs.
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.
