Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA), Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has established maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pyrimethanil in or on almonds and pistachios to permit the import and sale of food containing these residues.

Corresponding MRLs were proposed in the consultation document published on 11 October 2007, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2007-12, Pyrimethanil. The PMRA received no comments in response to this consultation.

To comply with Canada's international trade obligations, consultation on the proposed MRLs was also conducted internationally by notifying the World Trade Organization, as coordinated by the Standards Council of Canada. No comments were received as a result of the World Trade Organization consultation.

The following MRLs are legally in effect as of the publication date of this document and are in addition to the MRLs already established for pyrimethanil.
