Setting of an import tolerance for fenazaquin in hops

European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) et al. EFSA J. .

Abstract

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Gowan Crop Protection Limited submitted a request to the competent national authority in Greece to set an import tolerance for the active substance fenazaquin in hops imported from the United States of America. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive an maximum residue limit (MRL) proposal for hops. An adequate analytical method for enforcement is available to control the residues of fenazaquin in the plant matrix under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, EFSA concluded that the short-term and long-term intake of residues of fenazaquin and its toxicologically relevant plant metabolite TBPE resulting from the use of fenazaquin on imported hops from United States according to the reported agricultural practice is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.

Keywords: Fenazaquin; MRL; TBPE; consumer risk assessment; hops; pesticide.
