Established Maximum Residue Limit: Penthiopyrad  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL ) document for penthiopyrad notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/1238 (dated 13 February 2019) was adopted 8 May 2019. The proposed MRLs were 
established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Com modity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
10 Caneberries (crop subgroup 13 -07A) 
6.02 Bushberries (crop subgroup 13 -07B) 
1 ppm = parts per million  
2 Lowbush blueberries and lingonberries belong to Bushberries (crop subgroup 13 -07B). The MRL  of 6.0 ppm 
replaces the currently established MRLs of 3.0 ppm for lowbush blueberries and lingonberries, and establishes 
new MRLs for the remaining food commodities in the crop subgroup.  
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/servi ces/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).
