Note 1: The offals listed in this table are the edible parts. 
Note 2:「F」means the maximum residue limit of pesticide of milk products should be 
calculated below: 
(1) If the fat content of the milk products is less than 2%, the maximum residue limit 
of pesticide of milk products should be half of the maximum residue limit of 
pesticide of milk. 
(2) If the fat content of the milk products is equal to or more than 2%, the maximum 
residue limit of pesticide of milk products should be 25 times of  the maximum residue limit of pesticide of milk.
