EFSA Panel on EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR)
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the evaluating Member State (EMS), Austria, compiled an application to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance fluazifop-P in pumpkins seeds. To accommodate for the intended use of fluazifop-P, Austria proposed to set the MRL for pumpkin seed at the value of 5 mg/kg. Austria drafted an evaluation report in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, which was submitted to the European Commission and forwarded to EFSA. According to EFSA, the data are sufficient to derive the MRL proposal of 5 mg/kg for the proposed use on pumpkin seeds. Adequate analytical enforcement methods are available to control the residues of fluazifop-P on pumpkin seeds. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concludes that the proposed use of fluazifop-P on pumpkin seeds will not result in a consumer exposure exceeding the toxicological reference values and therefore is unlikely to pose a consumer health risk.
