Description

The objective of the notified document PMRL2018-05 is to consult on the listed domestic maximum residue limits (MRLs) for oxathiapiprolin that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).MRL (ppm)1                     Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity80                               Dried basil leaves10                               Brassica leafy greens (crop subgroup 4-13B); fresh basil leaves2                                 Stalk and stem vegetables (crop subgroup 22A)0.5                              Caneberries (crop subgroup 13-07A)0.04                            Tuberous and corm vegetables (crop subgroup 1C)2

1 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL of 0.04 ppm is proposed to replace the established MRL of 0.01 ppm for all crops in Crop Subgroup 1C.
MRLs are 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 Health Canada's website.
