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 applicant ISK Biosciences Europe N.V. submitted a request to the competent national authority in Belgium to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance isofetamid in certain salad plants. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for lamb's lettuces/corn salads, escaroles/broad leaved endives, cresses and other sprouts and shoots, land cresses, Roman rocket/rucola, red mustards, baby leaf crops (including brassica species) and other lettuces and salad plants. An adequate analytical method for enforcement is available to enforce the residues of isofetamid on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the uses of isofetamid according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
