    1967 EVALUATIONS OF SOME PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD

    THE MONOGRAPHS

    The content of this document is the result of the deliberations of the
    Joint Meeting of the FAO Working Party of Experts and the WHO Expert
    Committee on Pesticide Residues, which met in Rome, 4 - 11 December,
    1967. (FAO/WHO, 1968)

    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.
