This proposal aims to align certain maximum residue limits for various agricultural and veterinary chemicals, so that they are consistent with other national regulations relating to the safe and effective use of agricultural and veterinary chemicals.
Among others, the amendment inserts the residue of Cypermethrin in peanuts at T*0.05 ppm. In addition, it substitutes the residue of Chlorantraniliprole in almonds at 0.1 ppm.
* indicates that the maximum residue limit is set at the limit of determination.
‘T’ indicates that the maximum residue limit is a temporary maximum residue limit.
The final date for comments is September 10, 2018.
The amendment can be found here.
In addition, on August 23, 2018, the Food Standards (Proposal M1015 – Maximum Residue Limits (2017)) Variation entered into force.
As for nuts and dried fruits, the following MRL are established: acetochlor in peanuts at 0.2 ppm; isofetamidin in almonds at 0.01 ppm and in grape at 3 ppm; 2,4-DB in peanut at 0.2 ppm; acetamiprid in almonds at 0.1 ppm; aldicarb in peanut at 0.05 ppm; benzovindiflupyr in peanut at 0.01 ppm; buprofezin in almonds at 0.05 ppm; clothianidin in almonds at 0.01 ppm; cyhalothrin in almonds and peanut at 0.05 ppm; difenoconazole in almonds at 0.03 ppm and in stone fruits at 2.5 ppm; diflubenzuron in almonds at 0.2 ppm and in peanut at 0.1 ppm; dimethenamid-P in peanut at 0.01 ppm; dodine in almonds at 0.3 ppm and in peanut at 0.013 ppm; emamectin in almonds at 0.02 ppm; fenbuconazole in almonds at 0.05 ppm; fenpropathrin in peanut at 0.01 ppm; fenpyroximate in almonds at 0.1 ppm; fluazinam in peanut at 0.02 ppm; flumioxazin in cranberry at 0.07 ppm; ipconazole in peanut at 0.01 ppm; mesotrione in almonds at 0.01 ppm; metalaxyl in almonds at 0.5 ppm and in peanut at 0.2 ppm; metconazole in almonds at 0.04 ppm; permethrin in almonds at 0.05 ppm; phosphorous acid in grapes at 200 ppm; prothiofos in table grapes at 2 ppm; pyraflufen-ethyl in almonds at 0.1 ppm; pyriproxyfen in almonds at 0.02 ppm; spinetoram in peanut at 0.04 ppm; spirodiclofen in almonds at 0.1 ppm; spirotetramat in tree nuts [except almonds] at 0.5 ppm; tetraconazole in peanut at 0.03 ppm; thiophanate-methyl in almonds at 0.1 ppm; trichlorfon in macadamia nuts at 0.1 ppm; and trifluralin in almonds at 0.05 ppm.
The following MRL are deleted: amitraz in stone fruits; dithiocarbamates in macadamia nuts; fenarimol in grapes; fenbuconazole in stone fruits [except nectarine]; fenbutatin oxide in figs; fipronil in peanut and pecan; maldison in peanut; methidathion in date; methomyl in figs; prothiofos in grapes; and trichlorfon in tree nuts.
And the following MRL are substituted: cyprodinil in almonds by 0.02 ppm; fenitrothion in grapes by 1 ppm; metrafenone in grapes by 7 ppm; and pyriofenone in grapes by 1.5 ppm.
