Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Novaluron (PMRL2018-18)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2018-18 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for novaluron that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

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

1.0                   Fruiting vegetables (crop group 8-09)2

1 ppm = parts per million

2 The MRL of 1.0 ppm in/on crop group 8-09 is proposed to replace the currently established MRLs of 0.8 ppm in/on bell peppers and 0.9 ppm in/on non-bell peppers. MRLs are proposed for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with 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 and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
