#32026R0742Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/742 amending maximum residue levels for cyflufenamid, fenazaquin and nicotine
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation updates maximum residue levels (MRLs) for three pesticides in the EU. It raises or confirms MRLs for cyflufenamid in parsley (0.4 mg/kg), blackberries and raspberries (0.08 mg/kg each), and other small fruits and berries (0.09 mg/kg). For fenazaquin, new MRLs are set for sweet peppers (0.4 mg/kg), tomatoes (0.2 mg/kg) and aubergines (0.2 mg/kg). The temporary MRL for nicotine in tea is maintained at 0.5 mg/kg until 22 February 2030 instead of being lowered to 0.4 mg/kg, due to monitoring data showing difficulty in achieving the lower level and non-pesticide sources of residues. These changes are based on EFSA scientific opinions confirming consumer safety.
