_______________ 
  
Regulations Amending the Food and Drug Regulations (1338 - Kresoxim-methyl)
 
 
Kresoxim-methyl is registered under the Pest Control Products Act  as a fungicide for the 
control of apple scab and powdery mildew on apples.   Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have been 
established under the Food and Drugs Act  for residues of kresoxim-methyl and its metabolites 
resulting from its use in Canada and in other countr ies at 1.5 parts per million (ppm) in raisins, 
1.0 ppm in grapes, 0.5 ppm in apples and 0.15 ppm in apple juice and pecans.  MRLs have also been established at 0.03 ppm in meat and meat by-p roducts of cattle, goats, hogs, horses and sheep, and 
0.004 ppm in milk to cover residues in food de rived from animals fed with crops treated with 
kresoxim-methyl.  By virtue of subsection B.15.002(1) of the Food and Drug Regulations , the MRL 
for other foods is 0.1 ppm.  
 
This regulatory amendment will establish MRLs for residues of kresoxim-methyl and its 
metabolites in crabapples, loquats, mayhaws, oriental p ears, pear juice, pears and quinces, in order to 
permit the import and sale of food containing these residues.   
After the review of all available data, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency has 
determined that MRLs for kresoxim-methyl, includ ing its metabolites, of 0.5 ppm in crabapples, 
loquats, mayhaws, oriental pears, pears and quinces,  and 0.15 ppm in pear juice would not pose an 
unacceptable health risk to the public.
