Established Maximum Residue Limits: Spiromesifen

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for spiromesifen notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1228 (dated 7 December 2018) was adopted 27 February 2019. 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 Commodity5.0                     Caneberries (crop subgroup 13-07A)0.3                     Cucurbit vegetables (crop group 9)21 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL of 0.3 ppm replaces the currently established MRL of 0.2 ppm in/on cucumbers and 0.1 ppm in/on cucurbit vegetables, except cucumbers.MRLs are 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(s) or for food commodity(ies).
