 Regulations Amending the Food and Drug Regulations (1322 - (S)-methoprene)
 
 
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) , of Health Canada, has recently approved 
an application to allow the use of (S)-methoprene fo r the control of sciarid flies on mushrooms.  This 
regulatory amendment will establish a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for residues of (S)-methoprene resulting from this use in mushrooms,  in order to permit the sale of food containing 
these residues.  
 
After the review of all available data, th e PMRA has determined that an MRL for 
(S)-methoprene of 0.05 parts per million (ppm) in mushrooms would not pose an unacceptable health 
risk to the public.
