Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Clethodim (PMRL2017-29)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2017-29 is to consult on the listed domestic maximum residue limits (MRLs) for Clethodim that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). 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 currently 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 proposed to be 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 currently established MRL of 0.8 ppm in/on dried dillweed leaves is proposed to be 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 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.
