Established Maximum Residue Limits: Metalaxyl

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for metalaxyl notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1392 (dated 20 May 2021) was adopted 8 May 2024. 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 Commodity10        Bearberries, bilberries, cloudberries, lowbush blueberries2, muntries, partridgeberries1.5       Caneberries (crop subgroup 13-07A)30.5       Tree nuts (crop group 14-11, except almond nuts, black walnuts, and English walnuts)41 ppm = parts per million2 The MRL replaces the currently established 3.0 ppm MRL for lowbush blueberries.3 The MRL replaces the currently established 0.2 ppm MRL for raspberries and add MRLs for the remaining commodities in the crop subgroup.4 Almond nuts, black walnuts and English walnuts are excluded from this MRL action as a 0.5 ppm MRL is already established for these commodities.The commodities included in the listed crop groups/subgroups can be found on 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 section of the Canada.ca website.MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada’s Maximum Residue Limit Databasehttps://pest-control.canada.ca/pesticide-registry/en/mrl-search.html) on the Maximum residue limits, human health, and food safety 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 or for food commodities.
