Pesticide trifloxystrobin in or on low growing berries and flaxseed (ICS Codes: 65.020, 65.100, 67.040, 67.080, 67.200).

Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Trifloxystrobin (PMRL2020-08). Language(s): English and French. Number of pages: 5 and 7

The objective of the notified document PMRL2020-08 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for trifloxystrobin that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). 

MRL (ppm)¹                       Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity

1.5                              Low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G)²

0.4                              Flaxseeds³

¹ ppm = parts per million

² The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established MRL of 1.1 ppm in/on strawberries and add MRLs for the remaining commodities of the crop subgroup.

³ The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established MRL of 0.02 ppm in/on flaxseeds.

An MRL is 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.
