Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for flupyradifurone and difluoroacetic acid (DFA) in tomatoes
Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Bayer AG submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for flupyradifurone and its metabolite difluoroacetic acid (DFA) in tomatoes. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for flupyradifurone and DFA in the commodity under assessment. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of flupyradifurone and DFA in the plant commodity under consideration at the validated limits of quantification (LOQs) of 0.01 and 0.007 mg/kg, respectively. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of flupyradifurone and DFA residues resulting from the use of flupyradifurone according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
