Established Maximum Residue Limit: Tetraconazole

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for tetraconazole notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1351 (dated 18 November 2020) was adopted 4 February 2021. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:MRL (ppm)1      Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity2.0                     Liver of cattle, goats, horses and sheep21.0                    Barley bran0.9                    Rapeseeds (crop subgroup 20A) (revised)0.5                    Barley flour; milk fat; wheat germ0.3                    Barley; fat of cattle, goats, horses and sheep3; fruiting vegetables (crop group 8-09)0.15                  Cucurbit vegetables (crop group 9); wheat bran0.09                  Dried shelled pea and bean (except soybean) (crop subgroup 6C)0.08                  Meat by-products of cattle, goats, horses and sheep (except liver),4 wheat flour0.06                  Milk50.05                  Wheat0.03                  Fat of poultry0.02                 Meat and meat by-products of poultry0.01                 Eggs, field corn, popcorn grain1 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL replaces the currently established MRL of 0.05 ppm.3 The MRL replaces the currently established MRL of 0.02 ppm.4 The MRL replaces the currently established MRL of 0.02 ppm.5 The MRL replaces the currently established MRL of 0.01 ppm.An MRL is established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/residue-chemistry-crop-groups.html) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of the Canada.ca website.

MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database (http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php) on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/maximum-residue-limits-pesticides.html). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
