Established Maximum Residue Limit: Ethylene Oxide

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1125 (dated 12 July 2017) was adopted 18 October 2017. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:Ethylene Oxide:MRL (ppm)1      Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity7                    Herbs (crop subgroup 19A; dried leaves except dried basil leaves); spices (crop subgroup 19B)1ppm = parts per millionEthylene chlorohydrin:MRL (ppm) 1      Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity940                 Herbs (crop subgroup 19A; dried leaves except dried basil leaves); spices (crop subgroup 19B)1ppm = parts per millionMRLs 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).
