NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following communication, received on 18 July 2023, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Canada . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Established Maximum Residue Limits: Clopyralid  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for clopyralid notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1499 
(dated 3 May 2023) was adopted 17 July 2023. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into 
the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agr icultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
0.4 Bulb onions (crop subgroup 3 -07A) 
0.1 Bushberries (crop subgroup 13 -07B)2 
1 ppm = parts per million  
2 An MRL of 0.1 ppm was previously established for "blueberries". This MRL is now expired, as the i ndividual 
commodities of highbush blueberries and lowbush blueberries (both terms reflect current crop terminology) are 
now covered by the established MRL on crop subgroup 13 -07B. 
The commodities included in the listed crop groups/subgroups can be found on  the Residue Chemistry 
Crop Groups  webpage ( https://www.canada.ca/en/health -canada/services/cons umer-product -
safety/pesticides -pest-management/public/protecting -your-health -environment/pesticides -
food/residue -chemistry -crop-groups.html ) in the Pesticides section of the Canada.ca website.  
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database  
(https://pest -control.canada.ca/pesticide -registry/en/mrl -search.html ) on the Maximum residue 
limits, human health, and food safety webpage ( https://www.canada.ca/en/health -
canada/services/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 or for food commodities.
