Regular notification 2016-06-06
G/SPS/N/CAN/1027

Description

The objective of the notified document PMRL2016-26 is to consult on the listed domestic and import maximum residue limits (MRLs) for cyantraniliprole that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).
MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
60 Tea (dried leaves)
40 Leaves of root and tuber vegetables (Crop Group 2)
2.0 Edible-podded legume vegetables (Crop Subgroup 6A)
1.0 Dried shelled peas and beans (Crop Subgroup 6C)
0.4 Root vegetables except sugar beets (Crop Subgroup 1B)2, dry soybeans, meat byproducts of cattle, goats, horses, and sheep3
0.2 Succulent shelled peas and beans (Crop Subgroup 6B), milk3

0.08 Low growing berries except strawberries (Crop Subgroup 13-07H)
0.05 Green coffee beans
0.015 Rice
0.01 Peanuts, pomegranates
1 ppm = parts per million
2 The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established 0.02 ppm MRL for crop subgroup 1A, except sugar beet
3 The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established 0.01 ppm MRL for milk, fat, meat and meat byproducts of cattle, goats, horses, and sheep
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.
