    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    France proposed increasing the maximum residue level (MRL) for pyrimethanil in leeks from 1.0 to 4.0 mg/kg. This change is supported by data and ensures consumer safety, as it won't exceed toxicological reference values.

    Area of Science:

    • Agricultural Science
    • Food Safety
    • Regulatory Affairs

    Background:

    • An application was submitted to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for pyrimethanil in leeks.
    • The current MRL for pyrimethanil in leeks is 1.0 mg/kg.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the proposed modification of the MRL for pyrimethanil in leeks.
    • To assess the safety of increasing the MRL for pyrimethanil in leeks to 4.0 mg/kg.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of an application submitted by BASF.
    • Assessment of data provided by the evaluating Member State (France).
    • Evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

    Main Results:

    • France proposed raising the MRL for pyrimethanil in leeks to 4.0 mg/kg.

  • EFSA confirmed sufficient data to support the proposed MRL.
  • Adequate analytical methods are available for residue control.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed MRL of 4.0 mg/kg for pyrimethanil in leeks is supported by scientific data.
    • The proposed use of pyrimethanil on leeks is unlikely to pose a consumer health risk.
    • Consumer exposure is not expected to exceed toxicological reference values.
