    Explanation

    Chlordane has been reviewed at the Meetings in 1963, 1965, 1967 and
    1970 (FAO/WHO 1964, 1965, 1968, 1971). The Joint Meeting reviewed the
    data on chlordane residues on peppers and pimentoes and decided to
    issue the following additional recommendations for tolerances.
