Notice of Intent to Amend the Prescription Drug List (PDL): Hydroquinone The Notice of Consultation on the proposal to add hydroquinone to the Prescription Drug List (PDL) when sold in a concentration greater than 2% in topical products was notified in G/TBT/N/CAN/516 (dated February 7, 2017). On August 29, 2017, Health Canada published on its website the Notice of Intent to Amend indicating that, as a result of consultation, Health Canada will add certain hydroquinone products to the Prescription Drug List (PDL). Only the Human part of the PDL is to be revised. Health Canada has conducted a scientific review of hydroquinone against the criteria in section C.01.040.3 of the Food and Drug Regulations. The new listing remains unchanged from what was proposed in the February 1, 2017, Notice of Consultation. This revision will be in effect twelve months from the date of the Notice of Intent to Amend posted on the Health Canada’s website.

Revision of the Standards and Specifications for Foods and Food Additives under the Food Sanitation Act (revision of agricultural chemical residue standards)
Distribution date: 20 February 2018 | Final date for Comment: 21 April 2018
Proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for the following agricultural chemical: Pesticide: Propiconazole. Propiconazole is used as a fungicide during production of crops, and it is also used for post-harvest treatment on citrus fruits and stone fruits. Post-harvest pesticides, which are used to prevent mold from getting on harvested crops, are regulated as food additives in Japan. The Food Sanitation Act defines food additives as substances which are used by being added, mixed or infiltrated into food or by other methods in the process of producing food or for the purpose of processing or preserving food. Propiconazole is not currently permitted to use for post-harvest treatment. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan (MHLW) has decided to newly designate Propiconazole as a food additive, and to set the use standard for citrus fruits (excluding unshu orange), peach, nectarine, apricot, Japanese plum and cherry on the basis of scientific data provided by an applicant. Along with this, the MHLW has decided to establish maximum residue limits (MRLs) for Propiconazole on these commodities so that their Propiconazole residue concentrations will not exceed the MRLs if the pesticide is used properly according to the use standards. The MHLW is also going to revise MRLs in several commodities on the basis of the scientific data such as supervised residue trials conducted by Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs). When setting the MRLs, the MHLW confirmed that the estimated long-term and short-term dietary exposures to Propiconazole do not exceed an ADI of 0.019 mg/kg bw and an ARfD of 0.3 mg/kg bw, respectively, which were set by the Food Safety Commission of Japan.
