Proposed Maximum Residue Limit for Pydiflumetofen: Correction

Corrigendum to Regular Notification 2021-03-08
G/SPS/N/CAN/1358/Corr.1

Description

This corrigendum clarifies the maximum residue limit proposed for radish tops cited in notification G/SPS/N/CAN/1358. The notification proposed a 10 ppm maximum residue limit for radish tops; however, based on the current Residue Chemistry Crop Groups (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#a4) the crop descriptor should have been radish leaves, which is a commodity under Crop Subgroup 4-13B. Furthermore, based on the submitted residue data, the MRL of 50 ppm for Crop Subgroup 4-13B applies to potential residues of pydiflumetofen in radish leaves.
