* Shaded figures indicate provisional MRLs.　●：Commodities for which MRLs are to be lowered or deleted.
　○：Commodities for which MRLs are to be increased or newly set.
Note:The residue definition is methamidophos, including methamidophos derived from acephate.* Diagonal line means deletion of a food category to which an MRL applies.
※1 For  rice (brown rice) and milk, the MHLW has decided to delete the current MRLs, although
the Codex Alimentarius Commission sets MRLs for  rice and milk. Food consumption for rice and
milk are relatively so high in Japan that the estimated dietary exposure to methamidophos would
exceed the ADI of 0.00056 mg/kg bw/day. If the MRLs for rice and milk set based on Codex
MRLs, STMR estimated by the JMPR are not used for the estimation in Japan. Because the ratio
of acephate/methamidophos is different in Japan and the JMPR, STMRs corrected by
acephate/methamidophos ratio in Japan are used for the estimation.* The uniform limit 0.01 ppm will be applied to commodities for which draft MRLs are not given in
this table and to commodities not listed above.MRL
