Why?
The EU received an application for an import tolerance MRL of 0.6 mg/kg in relation to pyraclostrobin on papayas in Brazil. This was reduced to 0.5 mg/kg as this is the level that applies under Brazilian law, which was deemed to be safe by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA 2023).
Timeline
The new MRLs will apply from 12 February 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. For further information on the setting of import tolerances, see Pesticide residue import tolerance MRLs explained.
