Should a New Insecticide Residue Limit Be Set for Isocycloseram?
Official title: Consultation on isocycloseram, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2025-21
Health Canada wants to set a maximum residue limit for isocycloseram, a newer insecticide used on crops. This limit determines how much pesticide residue can legally remain on food you buy. The agency is asking for public input before making a final decision.
Why This Matters
Eat fruits or vegetables? This affects what's allowed on your food. Pesticide residue limits determine what's considered safe for you and your family. If you're concerned about what's sprayed on crops, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, isocycloseram residues up to the new limit would be legally permitted on certain foods sold in Canada. The limit gets added to Health Canada's official MRL database and becomes enforceable under the Pest Control Products Act.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed maximum residue limit for isocycloseram safe for consumers?

How to Participate
- Review the proposed MRL decision document to understand what residue limit is being proposed.
- Submit your comments to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency Publications Section by the deadline. Include "PMRL2025-21" in your submission.
