NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 22 May 2003, has been received from Canada.
_______________
Regulations Amending the Food and Dr ug Regulations (1313 - Thiamethoxam)
This regulatory amendment will establish an acceptable Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for
residues of thiamethoxam and its metabolite in crops on which thiamethoxam is used in othercountries.
After the review of all available data, the PMRA has determined that an MRL for
thiamethoxam and its metabolite of 0.02 ppm in all food crops would not pose an unacceptable health
risk to the public.
