## TL;DR

This paper discusses the modification of maximum residue levels for cyflufenamid in various crops to ensure consumer safety.

## Contribution

The study provides new maximum residue level proposals for cyflufenamid in multiple small fruits and berries.

## Key findings

- Adequate analytical methods are available to control cyflufenamid residues at 0.01 mg/kg.
- EFSA concluded that cyflufenamid residues are unlikely to pose a risk to consumer health.
- MRL proposals were derived for parsley, berries, and other small fruits.

## Abstract

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Certis Belchim B.V. submitted a request to the competent national authority in France to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance cyflufenamid in parsley, raspberries (red and yellow), blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, currants, gooseberries, rose hips, mulberries, azaroles/Mediterranean medlars, elderberries and other small fruits and berries. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for all the requested crops. Adequate analytical methods are available to control the residues of cyflufenamid according to the enforcement residue definition in plant matrices 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 resulting from the use of cyflufenamid according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health.
