MRLs (expressed as trichlorfon, in mg/kg tissue, mg/l milk): Muscle, liver, kidney, fat and milk (cattle): 0.05. At the fifty-fourth meeting (2000), the Committee noted that the concentrations of residues were very low in muscle, liver, kidney and fat. These MRLs are for guidance only and are based on the limit of quantification of the analytical method. | Report: | TRS 918-JECFA 60/26 | Residues: | FNP 41/13-JECFA 54/103 (2000) | Tox monograph: | FAS 51-JECFA 60/31 | Previous status: | 2000, TRS 900-JECFA 54/53, FNP 41/13-JECFA 54/103, FAS 45-JECFA 54/101. 0-0.02 mg/kg bw.
