Established Maximum Residue Limit: Abamectin

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for abamectin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1075 (dated 14 November 2016) was adopted 7 February 2017. The proposed MRL was established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and is provided directly below:

MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
0.072 Tomatoes
1 ppm = parts per million
2 The MRL of 0.07 ppm replaces the currently established MRL of 0.02 ppm in/on tomatoes.

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).
