Revision of the Standards and Specifications for Foods and Food Additives under the Food Sanitation Act (Revision of agricultural chemical residue standards)

Proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for the following agricultural chemicals:
Pesticides: Dazomet, Metam and Methyl isothiocyanate.

Dazomet, Metam and Metyl isothiocyanate are used as pesticide respectively. Dazomet and Metyl isothiocyanate can be readily metabolized to Metyl isothiocyanate in plants. Therefore, Japan is considering the MRL as a group of these substances.
