Pesticide ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin in or on various commodities (ICS Codes: 65.020, 65.100, 67.040, 67.220)

Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Ethylene Oxide (PMRL2017-22)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2017-22 is to consult on the listed domestic maximum residue limits (MRLs) for ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) .

Ethylene oxide:

MRL (ppm)¹  Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity

7  Herbs (crop subgroup 19A; dried leaves except dried basil leaves); spices (crop subgroup 19B)

¹ ppm = parts per million

Ethylene chlorohydrin:

MRL (ppm)¹  Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity

940  Herbs (crop subgroup 19A; dried leaves except dried basil leaves); spices (crop subgroup 19B)

¹ ppm = parts per million

MRLs are proposed for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc...) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
