    RESIDUES

    RECOMMENDATIONS

         At the request of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues, the
    Meeting re-examined the data from the 1981 Meeting1 supporting the
    estimate of 5 mg/kg (on a dry weight basis) as a maximum residue level
    on alfalfa, maize fodder and sorghum fodder. Taking into account the
    range of initial deposits of cypermethrin following treatment, the
    uncertainty of the period between treatment and use as a feed and the
    fact that some of the data referred to the green crop, the Meeting
    found no basis for changing its earlier estimate for these animal
    feeds.
