Vietnam Sanitary and Phytosanitary Notification Authority and Enquiry Point

The measure adopts Codex MRLs (CXLs) endorsed as new international food standards by the 46th session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission.

CXLs are being adopted for the following active substances for a range of commodities, having been assessed as meeting the UK's appropriate level of protection: afidopyropen, azoxystrobin, bifenthrin, broflanilide, chlorantraniliprole, chlormequat, fluazaindolizine, fludioxonil, fluindapyr, flupyradifurone (and difluoroacetic acid (DFA)), mandipropamid, metalaxyl, quinclorac, spiromesifen, sulfoxaflor and tetraniliprole.

The Evaluation Report/Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRLs is available at the following link, see page 101-115: Evaluation Report and Reasoned Opinion on the Assessment of Codex MRLs - CCPR 54 - 2023 (hse.gov.uk). 

The residue levels arising in food and feed from the notified uses result in consumer exposures below the toxicological reference values and therefore harmful effects on human health are not expected. As the residue levels exceed the current MRLs in force, new MRLs are being adopted.
