Pesticide sulfoxaflor in or on various commodities (ICS Codes: 65.020, 65.100, 67.040, 67.060, 67.080)

Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Sulfoxaflor (PMRL2021-25). Language(s): English and French. Number of pages: 6 and 7

The objective of the notified document PMRL2021-25 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for sulfoxaflor that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

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

2.0                Bushberries (crop subgroup 13-07B, except gooseberries)^2,3

1.5                Caneberries (crop subgroup 13-07A)

0.7                Globe artichokes

0.08              Quinoa

0.01              Asparagus

¹ ppm = parts per million

² Gooseberries are excluded from this MRL action as a 2.0 ppm MRL is already established for this commodity.

³ The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established 0.7 ppm MRL for lingonberries and lowbush blueberries.

An MRL is 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 the Canada.ca website.
