Established Maximum Residue Limits: Carfentrazone-ethyl

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for carfentrazone-ethyl notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1484 (dated 28 February 2023) was adopted 22 May 2023. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:MRL (ppm)1     Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity 2,3      0.1                 Bulb vegetables (crop group 3-07); leafy vegetables (crop group 4-13); fruiting                            vegetables (crop group 8-09); pome fruits (crop group 11-09); stone fruits (crop                            group 12-09); bushberries (crop subgroup 13-07B); rapeseeds (crop subgroup 20A)                            (revised); sunflowers (crop subgroup 20B) (revised); leaf petioles vegetables (crop                            subgroup 22B); fresh peppermint leaves, dried peppermint leaves, fresh spearmint                            leaves, dried spearmint leaves1 ppm = parts per million2 The previously established MRLs of 0.8 ppm for the milling fractions of barley, buckwheat, millet, oat, rye, triticale, and wheat are expired, as the processed fractions are covered by the established MRLs of 0.1 ppm for the raw agricultural commodities (RAC).3 The commodities of edible leaved chrysanthemum, Chinese mustard cabbage, mustard spinach and pepper hybrids, all at the previously established MRL of 0.1 ppm, are expired to reflect recent changes in crop grouping terminology. The previously established MRLs (all at 0.1 ppm) for the following commodities are expired and replaced by their relevant proposed crop group/subgroup MRLs: Chinese onions, dry bulb onions, garlic, great headed garlic, green onions, leeks, potato onions, shallots, tree onion tops, Welsh onion tops; amaranth, arugula, bok choy Chinese cabbages, broccoli rabe, Chinese broccoli, collards, corn salad, dandelion leaves, dock, endives, fresh chervil leaves, fresh parsley leaves, garden cress, garden purslane, garland chrysanthemum, head lettuce, kales, leaf lettuce, Malabar spinach, mustard greens, New Zealand spinach, orach, radicchio, rape leaves, spinach, Swiss chard, upland cress, winter purslane; bell peppers, eggplants, groundcherries, non-bell peppers, pepinos, tomatillos, tomatoes; apples, Asian pears, crabapples, loquats, mayhaws, pears, quinces; apricots, fresh prune plums, nectarines, peaches, plumcots, plums, sweet cherries, tart cherries; blueberries, currants, elderberries, gooseberries, huckleberries; flaxseeds, mustard seeds (oilseed type), rapeseeds (canola); safflower seeds, sunflower seeds; cardoon, celery, Chinese celery and rhubarb.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 for Pesticides 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).
