Established Maximum Residue Limit: Pyrethrins  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for pyrethrins notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1348 
(dated 23 October 2020) was adopted 18 January 2021. The proposed MRLs were established via 
entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided direc tly below:  
MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
1.0 Blueberries2 
0.15 Low growing berries (crop subgroup 13 -07G, except lowbush blueberries)3 
1 ppm = parts per million  
2 The established MRL of 1.0 ppm for blueberries is revised to "highbush blueberries" and "lowbush blueberries" 
to reflect current terminology.  
3 Lowbush blueberries are excluded from this MRL action as a 1.0 ppm MRL is already established for this 
commodity  
An MRL is established for each com modity 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-group s.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 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 -
