What the notification says

Mefentrifluconazole is an approved active substance in Great Britain. An application was received by the Health and Safety Executive requesting new MRLs for the commodities listed in section 3. Following assessment, new MRLs have been adopted to accommodate an import tolerance for mefentrifluconazole in various commodities. The Evaluation Report/Reasoned Opinion supporting the new MRLs is available at the following link: The evaluation of new MRLs for mefentrifluconazole in or on various commodities The residue levels arising in food from the notified uses result in consumer exposures below the toxicological reference values. As the residue levels exceed the current MRLs in force, new MRLs have been adopted.
