The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has published the Reasoned Opinion on the Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for spirotetramat in small fruits and berries.
After assessing the application and the evaluation report, EFSA has concluded that the short- and long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of spirotetramat according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
EFSA proposes to increase the existing MRL for cranberries from 0.7 ppm (Spi + 4) to 2 ppm (Spi + 4) and to 1.5 ppm (Spi + enol).
