Established Maximum Residue Limit: Fluopyram  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for fluopyram notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1437 
(dated 2 May 2022) was adopted 27 July 2022. 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 Commodity  
0.5 Cereal grains (crop group 15), except rice and corn2,3 
0.3 Rapeseeds (crop subgroup 20A) (revised)4 
0.03 Green coffee beans  
0.02 Field corn, popcorn grain2 
0.01 Sweet corn kernels  plus cob with husks removed2 
1 ppm = parts per million  
2 The MRLs replace the established 1.5 ppm MRL for cereal grains (crop group 15), except rice.
