GAP: Good Agricultural Practice; OECD: Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development; MRL: maximum residue level; PHI: preharvest interval.
Indicates that the MRL is proposed at the limit of quantification.
NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe, SEU: Outdoor trials conducted in southern Europe, Indoor: indoor EU trials or Country code: if non‐EU trials.
Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment (RA) refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.
Supervised trials median residue. The median residue for risk assessment (RA) refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.
MRL is tentative considering that residue levels of metaflumizone in raw tomato and residue levels of metabolite M320I04 in processed tomato are significant, while the toxicological relevance of this metabolite is not fully elucidated. Considering that processing of tomato, sweet pepper and gherkin is comparable, MRL is tentative also for these commodities.
MRL is tentative because additional trials compliant with GAP are needed.
MRL is tentative considering that residue levels of metabolite M320I04 are measured in the GAP‐compliant field trials on lettuce and Chinese cabbage, while the toxicological relevance of this metabolite is not fully elucidated.
