Should New Pesticide Residue Limits for Inpyrfluxam Be Approved?
Official title: Consultation on inpyrfluxam, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2025-16
Health Canada asked whether to set new limits on how much inpyrfluxam pesticide residue can remain on food. Inpyrfluxam is a fungicide used to protect crops. The comment period has now closed.
Why This Matters
Pesticide residues end up on the food you eat. These limits determine how much is legally allowed. If you're concerned about what's in your groceries, this decision affects you.
What Could Change
New maximum residue limits for inpyrfluxam will be added to Canada's official MRL database. Once finalized, these limits become legally enforceable under the Pest Control Products Act. Food with residues above these limits couldn't be sold in Canada.
