Should New Pesticide Residue Limits for Ethiprole Be Approved?
Official title: Consultation on ethiprole, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2025-23
Health Canada wants to set new limits on how much ethiprole pesticide residue can remain on food. Ethiprole is used to control insects on crops. The agency is asking whether the proposed maximum residue limits are appropriate before making them legally binding.
Why This Matters
Eat fruits or vegetables? Pesticide residue limits affect what ends up on your plate. These rules determine how much of this insecticide can legally remain on food you buy at the grocery store.
What Could Change
New maximum residue limits for ethiprole will become legally binding once entered into Health Canada's MRL database. This could affect which imported foods are allowed into Canada and what residue levels are acceptable on domestic crops.
