It has been learned that through notifications made by the European Commission to the World Trade Organization, it is proposed that the maximum residue level (MRL) for Benfluralin and Benthiavalikarb substances in all products be determined as the lowest level (LOD) that can be detected by the most modern and reliable analysis methods and that the following regulations are planned to be made.
The recommended LOD values for benfluralin are:
For fruits and vegetables, oilseeds, oil fruits, cereals, sugar and animal products: from 0.02 mg/kg to 0.01 mg/kg, For herbs and edible flowers: from 0.05 mg/kg to 0.02 mg/kg, For teas, coffee, herbal infusions, cocoa and carob, hops and spices: from 0.1 mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg, For snake beet (salsifi): reduce from 0.05 mg/kg to 0.01 mg/kg, For honey, maintain the LOD value at 0.05 mg/kg. The recommended LOD values for bentiavalikarb are:
For grapes and tomatoes: from 0.3 mg/kg to 0.01 mg/kg, For nuts, potatoes, algae, oilseeds, oil fruits and cereals: from 0.02 mg/kg to 0.01 mg/kg, The new MRL values are expected to come into force in May 2026, and the exact date will be determined after the regulation is published.
