Codex alimentarius commission and overseas MRLs The Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) is responsible for establishing Codex Maximum Residue Limits (CXLs) for pesticides. Codex CXLs are primarily intended to facilitate international trade, and accommodate differences in Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) employed by various countries. Some countries may accept Codex CXLs when importing foods. Both acetamiprid and novaluron have been considered by Codex. The following relevant international MRLs have been established for acetamiprid and novaluron: Table 3: Relevant overseas MRLs for acetamiprid in stone fruit Australia Commodities of plant Cherries 2 (proposed) origin: Parent Stone fruit (except cherries) 0.5 (proposed) CODEX For compliance with Cherries 1.5 MRL for plant commodities and for Nectarines 0.7 estimation of dietary intake for plant and Peach 0.7 animal commodities): acetamiprid.
