Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Rimsulfuron (PMRL2023-37)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2023-37 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limit (MRL) for rimsulfuron that has been proposed by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).MRL (ppm)1  Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity0.02            Low growing berries, except strawberries2 (crop subgroup 13-07H; except lowbush blueberries3 and lingonberries4)1 ppm = parts per million2 As cranberry is the representative commodity of crop subgroup 13-07H, an MRL for the crop subgroup is being recommended.3 Lowbush blueberries are excluded from this MRL action as an MRL of 0.05 ppm is already established for this commodity.4 Lingonberries are excluded from this MRL action as an MRL of 0.01 ppm is already established for this commodity.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.
