The findings were based on recent research and existing data on "the potential of acetamiprid and imidacloprid to damage the developing human nervous system—in particular the brain."
The research suggested the two insecticides "may adversely affect the development of neurons and brain structures associated with functions such as learning and memory," EFSA said in a statement.
"It concluded that some current guidance levels for acceptable exposure ... may not be protective enough to safeguard against developmental neurotoxicity and should be reduced," the EFSA added.
