An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive to include elemental iron in Part 4 of the GB Maximum Residue Limit Statutory Register (i.e. MRL exempt). Following assessment, elemental iron has been included in Part 4 of the GB MRL Statutory Register to accommodate a new authorisation of a plant protection product (PPP) in GB. The Evaluation Report/Reasoned Opinion supporting the decision is available at the following link:  The evaluation of elemental iron to be exempt from MRLs in or on all edible cropsThe levels of iron added to the soil from the notified use should not exceed natural background levels and are unlikely to have harmful effects on human health.
