Established Maximum Residue Limit: Carbaryl

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for carbaryl notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/559 (dated 6 October 2011) was adopted 17 February 2017. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:

MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
15 Rice
12 Prickly pear pads, Texas prickly pear pads2
10 Sorghum
5.0 Prickly pears, Texas prickly pears2
2.0 Pineapples
1.0 Dried shelled pea and bean, except soybean (Crop Subgroup 6C)3
0.5 Dry soybeans, sunflower seeds
0.02 Flaxseed, sweet potato roots
1 ppm = parts per million
2 Crop commodity names have been revised since the 2011 WTO Notification to reflect the current preferred terms.
3 Replaces the established MRL of 5.0 ppm in or on "Beans" and "Peas" for all subgroup commodities.

MRLs are established 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.

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 (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/mrl-lmr-eng.php). The database allows users to search for pesticides(s) or for food commodity(ies).
