Established Maximum Residue Limit: Clethodim

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for clethodim notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1117 (dated 17 May 2017) was adopted 14 August 2017. The proposed MRL was established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and is provided directly below:MRL (ppm)       Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity3.5                  Dry shelled peas and beans (crop subgroup 6C)1ppm = parts per million1 The MRL of 3.5 ppm is proposed to replace the currently established 0.5 ppm MRL for beans, dry peas, dry chickpeas and dry lentils.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).
