ANNEX II
ACCEPTABLE DAILY INTAKES AND RESIDUE LIMITS
PROPOSED AT THE 1989 MEETING
These figures are additional to, or amend, those recorded in
Annexes of the reports of earlier meetings. Limits recommended at
meetings from 1965 to 1977 inclusive are summarized in document
FAO/WHO 1978c.
This table includes maximum acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and
maximum residue limits (MRLs). These terms are defined in Annex III
of the report of the 1975 meeting.
Some ADIs are temporary: this is indicated by the year in
which re-evaluation is scheduled in parenthesis below the ADI.
Proposed MRLs may be followed by the qualifications listed
below, which have the meanings shown.
* : At or about the limit of
determination.
E : Extraneous Residue Limit (ERL).
F (following MRLs for milk) : The residue is fat-soluble and
MRLs for milk and milk products
are derived as explained in the
introductions to Part 2 of the
Guide to Codex Maximum Limits for
Pesticide Residues and to Volume
XIII of the Codex Alimentarius.
(fat) (following MRLs for : The MRL applies to the fat of the
meats) meat.
Po : The (T)MRL accomodates
post-harvest treatment of the
commodity.
PoP (following (T)MRLs for : The (T)MRL accomodates
processed foods (Classes D post-harvest treatment of the
and E in the Codex primary food commodity.
Classification)
T : The MRL is temporary,
irrespective of the status of the
ADI, until required information
has been provided and evaluated.
V (following (T)MRLs for : The (T)MRL accomodates veterinary
commodities of animal origin) uses.
If an MRL is an amendment, the previous value is also recorded,
together with the year in which the level was estimated. The
absence of a figure in the "Previous" column indicates that the
recommendation is the first for the commodity or group concerned.
The table includes the Codex Classification Numbers (CCNs) of
both the compounds and the commodities listed, to facilitate
reference to the Guide to Codex Maximum Limits for Pesticide
Residues. CCNs for commodities are those of the revised
Classification. Commodities are listed in the order of the "Types"
in the Classification, and within each Type in alphabetical order.
Different Types are not differentiated by sub-headings, but are
separated from one another by spaces. The Types are listed in the
following order:
Type Code
Fruits 01
Vegetables 02
Grasses 03
Nut and seeds 04
Herbs and spices 05
Mammalian products 06
Poultry products 07
Primary animal feed commodities of plant origin 11
Secondary food commodities of plant origin 12
Derived products of plant origin 13
