Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Pyrethrins (PMRL2020-35)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2020-35 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pyrethrins that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).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 proposed to be 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 commodity.
An MRL is proposed 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.
