NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 15 November 2019, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of Canada . 
 
_______________  
 
 
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 Agricult ural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
2.0 Cherries (crop subgroup 12 -09A); lowbush blueberries  
0.82 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 million  
2 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 est ablished 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 ma y 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/service s/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).
