Evaluation of the confirmatory data following the Article 12 MRL review for meptyldinocap (DE-126) and modification of the existing maximum residue levels in table and wine grapes
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Corteva Agriscience requested higher maximum residue levels (MRLs) for meptyldinocap in grapes. Confirmatory data addressed storage stability gaps, leading to revised MRLs and no identified consumer concerns.
Area Of Science
- Agricultural Science
- Food Safety
- Regulatory Science
Background
- Meptyldinocap residue evaluation under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 identified data gaps.
- Corteva Agriscience sought to raise existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for meptyldinocap in table and wine grapes.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate confirmatory data for meptyldinocap, addressing identified data gaps.
- To assess the impact of new residue trial data on proposed MRLs for meptyldinocap in grapes.
- To revise the consumer risk assessment for meptyldinocap based on new data.
Main Methods
- Storage stability studies were conducted for meptyldinocap and its metabolite 2,4-DNOP in high acid commodities.
- New residue trials compliant with EU Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) were performed on grapes.
- Consumer risk assessment was revised based on updated residue data.
Main Results
- Confirmatory data satisfactorily addressed data gaps for table and wine grapes, but only partially for strawberries and not for melons/watermelons.
- New residue trials resulted in a higher MRL proposal for meptyldinocap in grapes compared to the initial review.
- The revised consumer risk assessment identified no consumer concerns for meptyldinocap.
Conclusions
- Data gaps for meptyldinocap in table and wine grapes were adequately addressed.
- Existing MRLs for meptyldinocap in table and wine grapes required revision based on new evidence.
- The use of meptyldinocap, as evaluated, does not pose a risk to consumers.
