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's on your plate. These limits set the legal threshold for how much pesticide can remain on food you buy at the grocery store.
What Could Change
If approved, spidoxamat will have an official maximum residue limit added to Health Canada's database. This becomes the legal standard for food sold in Canada. Foods exceeding this limit could be pulled from shelves.
