MALATHION
This pesticide was evaluated by the 1966 Joint Meeting of the FAO
Working Party and the WHO Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues
(FAO/WHO, 1967). Through error, 'cereal products' were included with
'cereals' in the recommendation for a tolerance of 8 ppm (pg. 184,
above cited reference). The available data indicates that cereal
products should not be included in this recommendation and the meeting
recommends, therefore, that tolerances of 8 ppm be applied to fruit,
dried fruit, nuts and cereals, 6ppm to leafy vegetables, 4 ppm to
citrus and 3 ppm to vegetables other than leafy vegetables.
