New GB MRLs for ethofumesate amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

Ethofumesate is an approved active substance in GB. An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive to set new MRLs for  the use of ethofumesate on garlic, onions and shallots. Following assessment, new GB MRLs have been introduced.The Evaluation Report/ Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRLs is available at the following link. A complete list of all new or raised MRLs is available within this document: https://www.hse.gov.uk/pesticides/assets/docs/new-and-raised-GB-mrls-ppp.xlsxThe evaluation of new MRLs for ethofumesate in or on garlic, onions and shallots (hse.gov.uk)The 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 MRLs in force, new MRLs are being adopted.
