Regulatory Support: Maximum Residue Level (MRL)
Health Canada sets maximum residue levels for the amount of
pesticide residue
allowed in food or animal feed as a result of pesticide use. This requirement
extends to active and inert ingredients, as well as
pesticide use on commodities
imported from outside of Canada.
TSG’s consultants are experienced in all aspects necessary to establish a
MRL, including
monitoring field and laboratory activities,
analyzing and
interpreting data, preparing data packages and negotiating with Health
Canada.
We also help companies submit import MRL petitions to allow the sale
of a pesticide product outside of Canada, without import restrictions on
treated foods.

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Proposition 65, was approved by voters to address the growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals, updated at least once a year, known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65 also requires California businesses to post notification about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they sell, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment.
