Dear CSCA Members,
The Government of Pakistan notified the Government of Canada that the Pakistan Department of Plant Protection (DPP) has implemented a policy to randomly test imported shipments of lentils from all origins for glyphosate residues. DPP will utilize the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) specified by Codex Alimentarius for the purpose of import clearances.
Canadian and Codex MRLs for glyphosate on lentils are as follows:
Canada MRL | Codex MRL | |
Lentil | 4 ppm | 5 ppm |
