Canada: Canada Consults on Maximum Residue Limits for Pyridate

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CA2024-0045
Canada has opened a consultation to establish new maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pyridate on certain meat products, pulses, dried shell peas, and dry soybeans. The consultation will run until December 1, 2024. The proposal is to increase the MRL for meat byproducts from 0.2 ppm to 0.6 ppm and to establish MRLs for dry soybeans, and crop subgroup 6-21F. The current U.S. tolerance for pyridate on chickpea, seed is 0.1 ppm. Canada proposes an MRL of 0.05 ppm for crop subgroup 6-21F (excluding dry lentils) which includes chickpea, dry seed.
