Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Sulfuryl fluoride (PMRL2016-48)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2016-48 is to consult on the listed domestic and import maximum residue limits (MRLs) for sulfuryl fluoride that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
3.0 Crop Group 14-11: Tree Nuts (except almond nuts and pistachio nuts)2
2.0 All processed foods
0.5 Peanuts
0.2 Cacao beans
0.1 Crop Group 15: Cereal Grains (except sweet corn kernels plus cobs with husks removed)3
1 ppm = parts per million
2 The proposed MRL for tree nuts (Crop Group 14-11; except almond nuts and pistachio nuts) will replace the established MRL of 3.0 ppm for pecan nuts.
3 The proposed MRL of 0.1 ppm for cereal grains (Crop Group 15; except sweet corn kernels plus cobs with husks removed) will replace the established MRLs of 0.03 ppm for field corn and 0.03 ppm for rice.

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.
