EFSA: Acibenzolar‐S‐methyl, MRLs Review

After assessing the application and the evaluation report, EFSA has concluded that the short‐term and long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of acibenzolar‐S‐methyl, according to the reported agricultural practice, is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
 
EFSA proposes to increase the MRL for hazelnuts from 0.1 ppm to 0.2 ppm.
