G/SPS/N/GBR/34

Description

Benzovindiflupyr is an approved active substance in Great Britain. An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive to set new MRLs for blueberries and ginseng. 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. A complete list of the new MRLs is available within this document, see page 5: New MRLs (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.
