 Established Maximum Residue Limit: Fludioxonil 
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for fludioxonil notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/941 (dated 16 July 2015) was adopted 12 October 2015. The proposed MRLs were 
established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm) Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity 
15 Leafy Brassica  greens (Crop Subgroup 5B)a 
7.0 Green Onion Subgroup (Crop Subgroup 3-07B)b 
0.2 Bulb Onion Subgroup (Crop Subgroup 3-07A)c 
ppm = parts per million 
a This MRL replaces the established MRL of 8.0 ppm for fludioxonil in/on mustard greens, an d the established 
MRL of 0.01 ppm for fludioxonil in/on broccoli raab, bok choy Chinese cabbages, collards, kales, mustard 
spinach, and rape leaves. 
b This MRL replaces the established MRL of 0.02 ppm for fludioxonil in/o n fresh Chinese chive leaves, fresh 
chive leaves, leeks, tree onion tops, and Welsh onion tops . An MRL of 7.0 ppm is already established for green 
onions. 
c This MRL replaces the established MRL of 0.02 ppm for fludioxonil in/on Chinese onions, garlic, great headed 
garlic, and potato onions. The establ ished MRL of 0.02 ppm in/on shallots has been expired as it reflects 
outdated terminology. The MRL of 0.2 ppm in/on shallot bulbs replaces this MRL. An MRL of 0.2 ppm is already established for dry bulb onions. 
MRLs are established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with 
the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage ( http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps- spc/pest/part/protect-
proteger/food-nourriture/rccg-gcpcr-eng.php ) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of 
Health Canada's website. 
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit
