Established Maximum Residue Limit: Cypermethrin

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for cypermethrin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1254 (dated 22 August 2019) was adopted 11 November 2019. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:MRL (ppm)       Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity2.0              Cherries (crop subgroup 12-09A); lowbush blueberries0.82                 Bushberries (crop subgroup 13-07B, except lowbush blueberries); caneberries (crop subgroup 13-07A)0.32,3              Low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G, except lowbush blueberries)1 ppm = parts per million2 Although lowbush blueberry is a commodity in both crop subgroup 13-07B and 13-07G, the established crop subgroup MRLs do not apply to lowbush blueberries, as a separate MRL is now established for this commodity.3 As strawberries are included in crop subgroup 13-07G, the MRL of 0.2 ppm for strawberries is now replaced by the MRL of 0.3 ppm for the commodities in crop subgroup 13-07G.MRLs are 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.MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Databasehttp://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(s) or for food commodity(ies).
