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

Potassium phosphonates is an approved active substance in Great Britain. The Health and Safety Executive received an application to set a new Maximum Residue Level (MRL) for mangoes. Following the assessment, a new MRL has been introduced to accommodate an import tolerance on potassium phosphonates in mangoes. The Evaluation Report/ Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRL is available at the following link: The evaluation of a new MRL for potassium phosphonates in or on mangoesThe residue levels arising in food from the notified uses result in consumer exposures below the toxicological reference values and therefore harmful effects on human health are not expected. As the residue levels exceed the current MRL in force, a new MRL is being adopted.There are no CXLs  for potassium phosphonates on mangoes, nor for fosetyl aluminium (which can include residues arising from the use of potassium phosphonates) on mangoes.
