Regular notification 2016-04-01
G/SPS/N/CAN/1004

Description

The objective of the notified document PMRL2016-08 is to consult on the listed import maximum residue limits (MRLs) for fludioxonil that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

MRL (ppm) Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
15 Leaf petioles (Crop subgroup 4B)1
5.0 Pomegranates, black sapotes, canistels, papayas, and star apples2
ppm = parts per million
1 This proposed MRL will replace the currently established MRL of 0.01 ppm on CSG 4B.
2 This proposed MRL will replace the currently established MRL of 1.7 ppm on pomegranates, and of 0.45 ppm on black sapotes, canistels, papayas, and star apples.
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.
