Pesticide fenamidone in or on various commodities (ICS Codes: 65.020, 65.100, 67.040, 67.080, 67.220)

Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Fenamidone (PMRL2018-56)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2018-56 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for fenamidone that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

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

200                    Dried basil leaves

60                      Brassica leafy greens (crop subgroup 4-13B)²

30                      Fresh basil leaves

¹ppm = parts per million

²This MRL is proposed to replace the established MRL of 5 ppm in/on Chinese broccoli and the established MRLs of 55 ppm in/on broccoli raab, bok choy Chinese cabbages, collards, kales, mizuna, mustard greens, and rape leaves. The previously established MRL of 55 ppm for "turnip tops" will be replaced by an MRL of 60 ppm for turnip greens to reflect recent changes in crop grouping terminology (DIR2014-02). 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 the Canada.ca website.
