New GB MRLs for potassium phosphonates amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

Ametoctradin is an approved active substance in Great Britain (GB). An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive requesting to amend the existing Maximum Residue Level (MRL).  Following assessment, a new MRL for ametoctradin in honey has been introduced, raising it from 0.05* mg/kg to 5.00 mg/kg to support a new authorization of Plant Protection Products in GB. The Evaluation Report/Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRL is available at the following link: The evaluation of a new MRL for ametoctradin in honeyThe residue levels arising in food from the notified uses result in consumer exposures below the toxicological reference values.  As the residue levels exceed the current MRL in force, a new MRL is being adopted.  There is no CXL for honey.
