A new GB MRL for fluopicolide amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

Fluopicolide is an approved active substance in Great Britain. An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive to set a new MRL for escaroles/broad-leaved endives (0251030). Following assessment, a new MRL has been introduced to accommodate a new authorisation of a plant protection product in Great Britain. The GB MRL is increasing from 1.5 mg/kg to 4 mg/kgThe Evaluation Report/ Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRL is available at the following link:The evaluation of a new MRL for fluopicolide in or on escaroles broad-leaved endivesThe 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.
