Established Maximum Residue Limit: Glufosinate-Ammonium

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for glufosinate-ammonium notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1316 (dated 20 July 2020) was adopted 13 October 2020. 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 Commodity0.5                    Tree nuts (crop group 14-11)2; olives30.3                    Stone fruits (crop group 12-09)40.05                  Carrot roots1ppm = parts per million2 Replaces the currently established MRL of 0.1 ppm for tree nuts (crop group 14-11).3 Replaces the currently established MRL of 0.1 ppm for olives.4 Replaces the currently established MRL of 0.2 ppm for stone fruits (crop group 12-09). The MRL of 0.25 ppm for dried prune plums has been removed as residues are covered under the 0.3 ppm MRL for stone fruits (crop group 12-09).            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 Database (http://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.
