Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has established maximum residue limits (MRLs) for cyprodinil in or on beans (Crop Group 6 bean commodities) and leafy greens (Crop Subgroup 4A, except spinach) to permit the import and sale of food containing these residues. See Appendix I for a list of corresponding commodities.

Corresponding MRLs were proposed in the consultation document published on 21 April 2008, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2008-09, Cyprodinil. 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 cyprodinil.
