New GB MRLs for imazethapyr amending the GB MRL Statutory Register

Imazethapyr is not an approved active substance in Great Britain (GB). An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive to set new MRLs for lentils (dried) and soyabean. Following assessment, new MRLs have been introduced to set Import Tolerances.The Evaluation Report/ Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRLs is available at the following link: https://www.hse.gov.uk/pesticides/assets/docs/new-and-raised-GB-mrls-ppp.xlsxThe 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.
