Canada: Canada Cancels Certain Lambda-Cyhalothrin Uses In Effect April 2023

Canada announced that the domestic use of lambda-cyhalothrin on any crops or commodities for feed will be canceled in April 2023. Additional crops will also see uses canceled due to concerns on risks to human health. Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for lambda-cyhalothrin will be revised for numerous food commodities and these new MRLs will take effect in April 2024. MRL revisions will see lambda-cyhalothrin MRLs reduced for nearly 50 animal, horticultural, and field crop commodities to the limit of quantification of enforcement of 0.01 parts per million (ppm). These MRLs apply both domestically and on any imports of these commodities into Canada.
