PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD - 1983
Sponsored jointly by FAO and WHO
EVALUATIONS 1983
Data and recommendations of the joint meeting

ETHIOFENCARB
RESIDUES
Explanation
At the request of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues the
Meeting reviewed the limited data on ethiocarb in the 1977
monographs1 in beans both with and without pod. The relevant data
are presented again in the following monograph.
RESIDUES IN FOOD AND THEIR EVALUATION
RESIDUES RESULTING FROM SUPERVISED TRIALS
Data submitted previously to FAO by Bayer (1974-1979) were
reviewed and the results are given in Table 1.
APPRAISAL
The Meeting agreed that for beans with pod the earlier data,
together with the data in the 1981 evaluations, could be interpreted
as supporting a maximum residue level of 2 mg/kg but could find no
basis to change its earlier estimate of 0.2 mg/kg for beans without
pod.
