Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Flupyradifurone (PMRL2021-02)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2021-02 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for flupyradifurone that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).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 pads51 ppm = 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 proposed for these commodities.3 Kohlrabies is excluded from this MRL action as a separate MRL of 6.0 ppm is proposed 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 proposed for the commodity.

An MRL is proposed 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.
