On August 9th, 2023, the European Food Safety Authority published the regulation on “Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for Isofetamid in certain salad plants” in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
The scientific document emphasizes the following key points:
- MRLs have been proposed for lamb's lettuces/corn salads, cresses and other sprouts and shoots, Roman rocket, baby leaf crops, etc.;
- Residues of Isofetamid on the commodities were established at an LOQ 0.01 mg/kg;
- Short and long-term intake of residues is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
