Established Maximum Residue Limit: Spinetoram

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for spinetoram notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1073 (dated 11 November 2016) was adopted 6 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
22 Dried basil leaves
6.0 Fresh basil leaves
0.9 Dill seeds
0.32 Peaches, nectarines
1 ppm = parts per million
2 The MRL of 0.3 ppm replaces the currently established MRL of 0.2 ppm in/on nectarines and peaches.

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).
