New GB MRLs for flupyradifurone and the metabolite DFA amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

Regular notification 2026-01-14
G/SPS/N/GBR/117

Description

Flupyradifurone is an approved active substance in Great Britain. An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requesting new Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for various commodities. Flupyradifurone gives rise to the metabolite DFA, for which separate MRLs are set in Great Britain. Following assessment, new MRLs have been introduced to set import tolerances on various commodities for flupyradifurone and the metabolite DFA as detailed in Section 3 of this notification.  The Evaluation Report/Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRLs is available at the following link: The evaluation of new MRLs for flupyradifurone and the metabolite DFA in or on various commoditiesThe residue levels arising in food and feed 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 MRLs in force, new MRLs are being adopted.
