Should a New Pesticide Residue Limit Be Set for Spidoxamat?
Official title: Consultation on spidoxamat, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2025-27
Health Canada wants to set a maximum residue limit for spidoxamat, a pesticide. This limit determines how much of the chemical can legally remain on food. The agency is asking for public input before making a final decision.
Why This Matters
Eat fruits or vegetables? Pesticide residue limits affect what ends up on your plate. These limits are supposed to protect you from harmful chemical exposure. If you're concerned about food safety, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, spidoxamat will have an official maximum residue limit in Canada. Food with residues above this limit would be illegal to sell. The limit will be added to Health Canada's MRL database and become legally enforceable.
