Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for cyantraniliprole in olives

Abstract

Abstract In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant FMC International Switzerland Sarl (FISSarl) submitted a request to the competent national authority in France to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL) for the active substance cyantraniliprole in table olives and olives for oil production. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for the intended uses of cyantraniliprole in olives. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of cyantraniliprole in 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 intake of residues resulting from the uses of cyantraniliprole according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
