Enforcement residue definition: Deltamethrin
0243020	Kale	0.01^*	Further risk management considerations required	EFSA derived a MRL proposal of 0.15 mg/kg based on the residue trials submitted in support of the NEU residue trials according to the intended use in kale. In a tentative risk assessment, no consumer concern has been identified; however, the risk assessment was affected by non‐standard uncertainties. Thus, further risk management considerations are required to decide whether the MRL proposal is acceptable
