1 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL of 15 ppm replaces the MRL of 14 ppm for apples, crabapples, loquats, mayhaws, pears, Asian pears, and quinces; and, includes all crops of CG 11-09.3 The MRL of 8 ppm replaces the MRLs of 5 ppm for gooseberries and 3 ppm for lowbush blueberries.4 The MRL of 0.5 ppm for tomatoes is extended to all food commodities belonging to CSG 8-09A.5 Replaces the MRL of 0.1 ppm on all crops of CSG 3-07A.MRLs are 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 Health Canada's 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(s) or for food commodity(ies).
