EFSA concluded that although no apparent risk to consumers was identified, some information required by the regulatory framework was missing. The consumer risk assessment is considered indicative only and some MRL proposals derived by EFSA still require further consideration by risk managers.
 
Based on the assessment of the available data, EFSA has proposed the following MRLs: To decrease the MRL for tree nuts, apricots, plums, cranberries, figs and peanuts from 0.1* ppm to 0.05* ppm and for grapes from 0.5 ppm to 0.05* ppm.
 
* Indicates that the MRL is set at the limit of analytical quantification.
