Established Maximum Residue Limit: Chloropicrin

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for chloropicrin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1513 (dated 21 June 2023) was adopted on 3 November 2023. 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 Commodity0.025           Stalk, stem, and leaf petioles (crop group 22)21ppm = parts per million2 The MRL replaces the previous MRLs of 0.025 ppm in/on asparagus, cardoon, celery, celtuce, Chinese celery, fresh Florence fennel leaves and stalks, kohlrabies and rhubarb with a single crop group 22 MRL. The commodities included in the listed crop groups/subgroups can be found on the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/residue-chemistry-crop-groups.html) in the Pesticides section of the Canada.ca website.MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada’s Maximum Residue Limit Databasehttps://pest-control.canada.ca/pesticide-registry/en/mrl-search.html) on the Maximum residue limits, human health, and food safety webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/maximum-residue-limits-pesticides.html). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
