Established Maximum Residue Limit: Pyrethrins

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for pyrethrins notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1348 (dated 23 October 2020) was adopted 18 January 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 Commodity1.0                   Blueberries20.15                 Low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G, except lowbush blueberries)31 ppm = parts per million2 The established MRL of 1.0 ppm for blueberries is revised to "highbush blueberries" and "lowbush blueberries" to reflect current terminology.3 Lowbush blueberries are excluded from this MRL action as a 1.0 ppm MRL is already established for this commodityAn 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.
