Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has established maximum residue limits (MRLs) for triflumizole in or on cucurbit vegetables (Crop Group 9; see Residue Chemistry Crop Groups) and strawberries to permit the import and sale of foods containing residues of triflumizole.

Corresponding maximum residue limits (MRLs) were proposed in the consultation document published on 27 February 2009, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2009-11, Triflumizole. The PMRA received a single set of comments from Canadian growers' associations as a result of the consultation, but these comments had no bearing on the proposed import MRLs or the science supporting the basis for establishing the MRLs.

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.

Established Maximum Residue Limits for Triflumizole

Common Name	Residue Definition	MRL (ppm)	Food Commodity
Triflumizole	1-[1-[[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] imino]-2-propoxyethyl]-1H-imidazole, including metabolites containing the 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylaniline moiety, expressed as triflumizole	2.0	Strawberries
		0.5	Cucurbit vegetables (Crop Group 9)

MRLs are established for each commodity included in the cucurbit vegetables crop group in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage.

A complete list of all MRLs established in Canada can be found on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
