Description

The objective of the notified document PMRL2020-08 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for trifloxystrobin that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). MRL (ppm)1                Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity1.5                          Low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G)20.4                          Flaxseeds31 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established MRL of 1.1 ppm in/on strawberries and add MRLs for the remaining commodities of the crop subgroup.3 The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established MRL of 0.02 ppm in/on flaxseeds.
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.
