Established Maximum Residue Limit: Clethodim

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for clethodim notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1147 (dated 13 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 Commodity3.0                 Spices (crop subgroup 19B)2,30.9                 All dried herbs within crop subgroup 19A40.7                 All fresh herbs within crop subgroup 19A50.5                 Hops (dried); garlic0.2                 Cherry subgroup (crop subgroup 12-09A)1 ppm = parts per million2 The established MRLs of 0.7 ppm in/on fenugreek seeds, 1.5 ppm in/on caraway seeds, and 0.4 ppm in/on mustard seeds (condiment type) are revised to 3.0 ppm.3 There is currently a MRL of 3 ppm established for dill seeds and coriander seeds, two crops within crop subgroup 19B.4 The established MRL of 0.8 ppm in/on dried dillweed leaves is revised to 0.9 ppm. An MRL of 0.9 ppm is currently established for dried basil leaves, a crop within crop subgroup 19A.5 A MRL of 0.7 ppm is currently established for fresh dillweed leaves and fresh basil leaves, two crops within crop subgroup 19A.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).
