Should a New Pesticide Residue Limit Be Set for Spidoxamat?
Official title: Consultation on spidoxamat, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2025-27

Why This Matters

What Could Change
A new maximum residue limit for spidoxamat will become legally binding once entered into Health Canada's MRL database. This sets the enforceable standard for how much of this pesticide can be present on food sold in Canada.
