Pesticide clopyralid in or on various commodities (ICS codes: 65.020, 65.100, 67.040, 67.080)

Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Clopyralid (PMRL2023-21). Language(s): English and French. Number of pages: 7 and 8

The objective of the notified document PMRL2023-21 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for clopyralid that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

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

0.4               Bulb onions (crop subgroup 3-07A)

0.1               Bushberries (crop subgroup 13-07B)2

1 ppm = parts per million

2 An MRL of 0.1 ppm is currently established for "blueberries". This MRL will be expired, as the individual commodities of highbush blueberries and lowbush blueberries (both terms reflect current crop terminology) will be covered by the proposed MRL on Bushberries (crop subgroup 13-07B).

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.
