EFSA concluded that the proposed uses of mandestrobin as fungicide on apricots and plums, among others, will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference value, and therefore is unlikely to pose a risk to consumers’ health. EFSA proposes to amend the existing MRLs: replacing the existing MRL in apricots at 0.01* ppm by 2 ppm and in plums at 0.01* ppm by 0.5 ppm (* indicates lower limit of determination).

In addition, EFSA published the Reasoned Opinion on “Review of the existing maximum residue levels for fenoxycarb according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005”.
Based on the assessment of available data, EFSA recommends replacing the existing MRL in pecans and walnuts at 0.05* ppm by 0.05 ppm; in plums at 1 ppm by 0.6 ppm; and in table grapes at 1 ppm by 0.5 ppm, among others (* indicates lower limit of determination).
