Established Maximum Residue Limit: Flonicamid

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for flonicamid notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1410 (dated 28 July 2021) was adopted 15 March 2022. 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 Commodity16                     Abyssinian cabbages, mizuna, seakale cabbages, Hanover salad, wild rocket, Shepherd's purse, and watercress4.0                    Bitter lettuce, blackjack, cat's whiskers, cham-chwi, cham-na-mul, Chinese amaranth, Chinese violets, chipilin, buckhorn plantain leaves, cosmos, dang-gwi, dol-nam-mul, ebolo, fuki, English primrose, escaroles, fameflowers, feather cockscombs, fresh cilantro leaves, fresh dillweed leaves, good King Henry, huauzontles, Indian asters, jute leaves, Malabar spinach, New Zealand spinach, tree spinach, tanier spinach, udo, and zuiki1 ppm = parts per millionIn addition, this addendum clarifies the maximum residue limit proposed for common plantains cited in Notification G/SPS/N/CAN/1410. The notification proposed a 4.0 ppm maximum residue limit for common plantains. Health Canada's MRL Database, however, has recently been updated (https://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php), and the crop descriptor for common plantains has been revised to buckhorn plantain leaves.MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database (http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php) 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.
