Description

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for tetraniliprole notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1297 (dated 24 January 2020) was adopted 19 April 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 Commodity20                            Leafy vegetables (crop group 4-13)7.0                           Citrus oil1.5                           Brassica head and stem vegetable group (crop group 5-13), lemons/limes (revised) (crop subgroup 10B); small fruits vine climbing, except                                         fuzzy kiwifruit (crop subgroup 13-07F), tomato paste1.0                          Oranges (revised) (crop subgroup 10A), stone fruits (crop group 12-09)0.9                          Grapefruits (revised) (crop subgroup 10C)0.5                          Pome fruits (crop group 11-09)0.4                          Fruiting vegetables (crop group 8-09), cottonseeds (revised) (crop subgroup 20C)0.3                          Meat byproducts of cattle, goats, horses and sheep0.2                          Dry soybeans0.05                        Milk0.04                        Fat of cattle, goats, horses and sheep0.03                        Tree nuts (crop group 14-11)0.02                        Meat of cattle, goats, horses and sheep0.015                      Tuberous and corm vegetables (crop subgroup 1C)0.01                       Eggs; fat, meat and meat byproducts of hogs and poultry; field corn, popcorn grain, sweet corn kernels plus cob with husks removed1ppm = parts per million
            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.
