Established Maximum Residue Limit: Quinoxyfen

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for quinoxyfen notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1081 (dated 23 November 2016) was adopted 14 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
2.0 Small fruits vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit (CSG 13-07F)2
1.7 Fruiting vegetables (CG8-09)
1.0 Low growing berries (CSG 13-07G)3
1 ppm = parts per million
2 The proposed MRL of 2.0 ppm for CSG 13-07F replaces the currently established MRL of 0.5 for grapes.
3 The proposed MRL of 1.0 ppm for CSG 13-07G replaces the currently established MRL of 0.9 for strawberries.

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).
