Established Maximum Residue Limit: Spirotetramat

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for spirotetramat notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1148 (dated 21 November 2017) was adopted 31 January 2018. 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 Commodity4.5                   Stone fruit (crop group 12-09)20.25                 Tree nuts (crop group 14-11)30.15                 Carrot roots, sugar beet roots0.1                  Asparagus1 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL of 4.5 ppm is being extended to all of crop group 12-09.3 The MRL of 0.25 ppm is being extended to all of crop group 14-11.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 Health Canada's 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).
