EU reduces MRLs for (Z,Z,Z,Z)-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate to the LOD of 0.01 mg/kg on all products.
Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/352 of 22 January 2024 amending Annexes II and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for (Z)-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate, (Z,Z,Z,Z)-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate, acrinathrin, azimsulfuron, famoxadone, prochloraz and sodium hypochlorite in or on certain products
Update
The European Commission has reduced the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for (Z,Z,Z,Z)-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate to the limit of determination (LOD) of 0.01 mg/kg on all products. (The LOD is the lowest level that can be detected using the most modern and reliable analytical methods.) Where the detection level of 0.01 mg/kg cannot be met due to technical limitations, the MRL is 0.02 or 0.05 mg/kg.

What is changing?
The European Commission has set the MRLs for (Z,Z,Z,Z)-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate to the LOD on all products.
Why?
This substance is no longer permitted for use in the EU, so the existing MRLs have been deleted and set to the LOD.
Timeline
The new MRLs will apply from 12 August 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.
