The following communication, received on 17 March 2022, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Canada .

Established Maximum Residue Limit: Flonicamid  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for flonicamid notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1410 
(dated 28 July 2021) was adopted 15 March 2022. The proposed MRLs were established via entry 
into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
16 Abyssinian cabbages, mizuna, seakale cabbages, Hanover salad, wild rocket, 
Shepherd's purse, and watercress  
4.0 Bitter lettuce, blackjack, cat's whiskers, cham -chwi, cham -na-mul, Chinese amaranth, 
Chinese violets, chipilin, buckhorn plantain leaves, cosmos, dang -gwi, dol -nam-mul,

cilantro leaves, fresh dillweed leaves, good King Henry, huauzontles, Indian asters, 
jute leaves, Malabar spinach, New Zealand spinach, tree spinach, tanier spinach, udo, 
and zuiki  
1 ppm = parts per million  
In addition, this addendum clarifies the maximum residue limit proposed for common plantains cited 
in Notification G/SPS/N/CAN/1410. The notification proposed a 4.0 ppm maximum residue limit for 
common plantains. Health Canada's MRL Database, however, has recently been updated ( https://pr -
rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl -lrm/index -eng.php ), and the crop descriptor for common plantains has been 
revised to buckhorn plantain leaves.  
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database  
(http://pr -rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl -lrm/index -eng.php ) on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides 
webpage ( https://www.canada.ca/en/health -canada/services/consumer -product -safety/pesticides -
pest-management/public/protecting -your-health -environment/pestici des-food/maximum -residue -
limits -pesticides.html ). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
