Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Ethylene Oxide (PMRL2017-22)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2017-22 is to consult on the listed domestic maximum residue limits (MRLs) for ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

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)

1 ppm = 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)

1 ppm = parts per million
MRLs are proposed for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/rccg-gcpcr-eng.php) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
