NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 5 October 2020, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Canada . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Established Maximum Residue Limit: Azoxystrobin  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for azoxystrobin notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/1308 (dated 8 June 2020) was adopted 30 September 2020. 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 Commodity2 
10 Bearberries, bilberries, cloudberries, lingonberries3, muntries, and partridgeberries  
1ppm = parts per million  
2Strawberries are excluded from this MRL action as an MRL of 10 ppm is already established for this commodity.  
3This MRL replaces the MRL of 3 ppm currently established for azoxystrobin in/on this commodity.  
Please note that the PMRA has received a comment during the consultation period concerning the 
proposed MRL for lowbush  blueberries (under PMRL2020 -05) that resulted in maintaining the existing 
MRL of 3 ppm for lowbush blueberries.  
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 -
