Description

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for azoxystrobin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1308 (dated 8 June 2020) was adopted 30 September 2020. 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 Commodity210                         Bearberries, bilberries, cloudberries, lingonberries3,  muntries, and partridgeberries1ppm = parts per million2Strawberries are excluded from this MRL action as an MRL of 10 ppm is already established for this commodity.3This MRL replaces the MRL of 3 ppm currently established for azoxystrobin in/on this commodity.Please note that the PMRA has received a comment during the consultation period concerning the proposed MRL for lowbush blueberries (under PMRL2020-05) that resulted in maintaining the existing MRL of 3 ppm for lowbush blueberries.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).
