“HIGHLY UNCERTAIN” SCIENCE USED FOR PESTICIDE LIMITS - PMRA on a mission to increase MRLs
Following a two-year pause on pesticide maximum residue level (MRL) increases, sugarbeet roots (used for sugar products), are first up for MRL increase as requested by Syngenta & proposed by Health Canada.

“Highly Uncertain” Science Used for Pesticide Limits - Safe Food Matters
Pesticide limits for sugar beet roots – the first up for MRL increases after the “pause” – are based on uncertain science Confidential test data reveals there is “High uncertainty of [the] MRL estimate” for two increases of pesticide maximum residue limits…
