Established Maximum Residue Limit: Clethodim
Description
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for clethodim notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1474 (dated 30 January 2023) was adopted 25 April 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 Commodity3.0 Napa Chinese cabbages2.0 Green onions (crop subgroup 3-07B)20.6 Leaf petioles vegetables (crop subgroup 22B)0.3 Buckwheat0.09 Celeriac tops3, rutabaga tops31 ppm = parts per million2 The current established MRL for "Onions" at 0.2 ppm is revised to "Dry bulb onions" at the same MRL value to reflect current terminology.3 Celeriac and rutabaga roots are excluded from this MRL action as an MRL of 0.3 ppm is already established on these commodities.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). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
