Description

The objective of the notified document PMRL2017-21 is to consult on the listed domestic maximum residue limits (MRLs) for flonicamid that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).MRL (ppm)1     Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity7.0                  Succulent shelled pea and bean (crop subgroup 6B )4.0                  Edible podded legume vegetables (crop subgroup 6A)3.0                  Pepper/eggplant (crop subgroup 8-09B)2; Dry beans, grain lupin, dry kidney beans, dry lima beans, dry navy beans, dry pink beans, dry pinto beans, dry tepary beans, dry adzuki beans, dry blackeyed peas, dry catjang seeds, dry cowpea seeds, dry moth beans, dry mung beans, dry rice beans, dry southern peas, dry urd beans, dry broad beans, dry chickpeas, dry guar seeds, and dry lablab beans1 ppm = parts per million
2 The MRL of 3.0 ppm is proposed to replace the currently established MRLs of 0.4 ppm for all commodities in crop subgroup 8-09B.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.
