PESTICIDES - HSE Pesticides ebulletin: GB maximum residue level amendments

This ebulletin includes information on the Plant Protection Products (PPP) regulations in Great Britain (GB).

GB maximum residue level (MRL) amendments - June 2022

In order to accommodate emergency authorisations in GB, new temporary MRLs (tMRLs) have been set in the GB MRL Statutory Register for the following active/commodity combinations:

• Cyantraniliprole/blackberries, raspberries, Chinese cabbages (pe-tsai) and leeks

The new tMRLs came into force in June on the dates indicated in the GB MRL Statutory Register and are valid for a period of 5 years.

After 5 years the tMRLs will revert to the previous MRLs in force as outlined in the GB MRL Statutory Register, unless amended by a further decision. 

You can view the evaluation report, reasoned opinion and decision document supporting each of these new tMRLs on the HSE website [see: HSE website]
