Established Maximum Residue Limits: Pendimethalin

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for pendimethalin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1479 (dated 21 February 2023) was adopted 15 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 Commodity0.1               Pome fruits (crop group 11-09)2 ; stone fruits (crop group 12-09)31 ppm = parts per million2 The established MRL of 0.1 ppm in/on pome fruits (crop group 11-09) replaces the previous MRL of 0.1 ppm in/on individual commodities within this crop group.3 The established MRL of 0.1 ppm in/on stone fruits (crop group 12-09) replaces the previous MRL of 0.1 ppm in/on individual commodities within this crop group.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).
