Established Maximum Residue Limit: Chlorantraniliprole

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for Chlorantraniliprole notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/769 (dated 21 November 2013) was adopted 9 February 2014. The proposed MRLs, established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database, are provided directly below and are legally in effect as of the publication date in the MRL Database.

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

2.5                 Lowbush blueberries

2.0                 Rapeseed (Crop Subgroup 20A), sunflower (Crop Subgroup 20B), soybeans^a

1.0                 Low growing berry (Crop Subgroup 13-07G) except lowbush blueberries

0.7                 Citrus fruit (Crop Group 10-revised)

0.3                 Root and tuber vegetables (Crop Group 1)b, Cotton (Crop Subgroup 20C)^c

0.05               Fat and meat by-products of poultry^d

0.02               Meat of poultry^e

^a The currently established MRL of 2.0 ppm for legume vegetables (CG 6) except soybeans will be extended to soybeans.

^b The MRL of 0.3 ppm will replace the currently established MRL of 0.01 ppm for corm and tuberous vegetables (CSG 1C).

^c The currently established MRL of 0.3 ppm for undelinted cottonseed will be extended to Crop Subgroup 20C.

^d The MRL of 0.05 ppm will replace the currently established MRL of 0.01 ppm for fat and meat by-products of poultry.

^e The MRL of 0.02 ppm will replace the currently established MRL of 0.01 ppm for meat of poultry.

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/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/rccg-gcpcr-eng.php) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.

MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database (http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php) on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/mrl-lmr-eng.php). The database allows users to search for pesticides(s) or for food commodity(ies).
