New GB MRLs for tricyclazole amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

Tricyclazole is not an approved active substance in Great Britain. An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive to set new MRL for rice. Following assessment, new MRL have been introduced to set Import Tolerances. The Evaluation Report/ Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRL is available at the following link. A complete list of the new MRL is available within this document, see page 6: hse.gov.uk/pesticides/assets/docs/mrln-aahy-0475.pdfThe 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.
