Should New Pesticide Residue Limits for Triallate Be Approved?
Official title: Consultation on triallate, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2025-18
Health Canada wanted to know if proposed limits for triallate residue on food should be approved. Triallate is a herbicide used on crops. The consultation asked whether the proposed maximum residue limits are safe for Canadians.
Why This Matters
Eat food? This affects you. Triallate is a herbicide that can end up on crops you buy at the grocery store. The government sets limits on how much residue is safe. These limits determine what's allowed on your plate.
What Could Change
New maximum residue limits for triallate will be set and entered into the official MRL database. These limits become legally binding once finalized. Food products exceeding these limits could be pulled from shelves.

- Are the proposed maximum residue limits for triallate safe for human health?

What Happened
