Modification of the existing maximum residue levels for tebufenozide in tree nuts

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Nisso Chemical Europe GmbH submitted a request to the competent national authority in Italy to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance tebufenozide in tree nuts. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for tree nuts. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of tebufenozide in the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on indicative risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the long-term intake of residues resulting from the use of tebufenozide according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
