Description

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for flupyradifurone notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1371 (dated 11 February 2021) was adopted 10 May 2021. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity9.0 Celtuce, fresh Florence fennel leaves and stalks8.0 Tropical and subtropical palm fruits, edible peel (crop subgroup 23C)6.0 Kohlrabies3.0 Sesame seeds0.70 Sunflowers (crop subgroup 20B) (revised), Texas prickly pear pads0.30 Pineapples0.01 Stalk and stem vegetables (crop subgroup 22A, except celtuce2, fresh Florence fennel leaves and stalks2, kohlrabies3, prickly pear pads4, Texas prickly pear pads51ppm = parts per million2 Celtuce and fresh Florence fennel leaves and stalks are excluded from this MRL action as a separate MRL of 9.0 ppm is now established for these commodities.3 Kohlrabies is excluded from this MRL action as a separate MRL of 6.0 ppm is now established for the commodity.4 Prickly pear pads are excluded from this MRL action as an MRL of 0.70 ppm is already established for the commodity.5 Texas prickly pear pads are excluded from this MRL action as a separate MRL of 0.70 ppm is now established for the commodity. An MRL is established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/residue-chemistry-crop-groups.html) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of the Canada.ca website.MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Databasehttp://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php) on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/maximum-residue-limits-pesticides.html). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
