Setting of an import tolerance for pyridaben in grapefruits

Abstract

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Nissan Chemical Europe S.A.S. submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to set an import tolerance for the active substance pyridaben in grapefruits imported from the United States of America. The data submitted in support of the requests were found to be sufficient to derive an MRL proposal of 0.5 mg/kg for grapefruits. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of pyridaben on the commodity under consideration, at or above the validated LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the #risk assessment results, #EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues resulting from the uses of pyridaben on imported grapefruits from United States according to the reported agricultural practices, is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

Summary

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Nissan Chemical Europe S.A.S. submitted an application to the competent national authority the Netherlands (rapporteur Member State, RMS) to set import tolerance for the active substance pyridaben in grapefruits. The RMS drafted an evaluation report in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which was submitted to #the European Commission and forwarded to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on 5 May 2022. The RMS proposed to establish maximum residue level (MRL) for grapefruits imported from the United States at the level of 0.5 mg/kg.

EFSA assessed the application and the evaluation report as required by Article 10 of the MRL regulation. EFSA identified points which needed further clarification, which were requested from the RMS. On 24 May 2022, the RMS submitted the requested information.
