The European Commission has made significant changes to maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides with the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2025/1305 on 2 July 2025.

The regulation updates the annexes to EU Regulation No. 396/2005 and sets new MRL values for substances such as amidosulfuron, azoxystrobin, hexythiazox, isoxaben, propamocarb and tefluthrin. Additionally, specific maximum residue limits are defined for the first time for picloram and sodium silver thiosulphate.

Furthermore, special import tolerances have been introduced for melons and watermelons imported from Brazil and blackberries and raspberries from the United States. The European Commission stated that this regulation aims to strengthen food safety and protect consumer health.

An editorial, high-quality photograph of a minimalist arrangement of sustainable packaging prototypes on a clean, white architectural surface. The scene features a sleek, recycled cardboard shipping box, a clear glass bottle, and a container made from high-quality recycled plastic, all designed with precise, efficient shapes that eliminate excess volume and empty space. On the packaging, subtle and modern universal recycling icons and a small, clean QR code are visible, representing standardized labeling. The setting is a bright, professional design studio with soft, natural daylight, emphasizing the textures of the eco-friendly materials—the fine grain of the paper and the clarity of the glass. The color palette is composed of neutral whites, soft greys, and muted forest greens, conveying a sense of environmental responsibility, industrial precision, and a circular economy. The composition is balanced and elegant, with a shallow depth of field focusing on the high-quality craftsmanship of the sustainable containers.
