Draft resolution number 907, 21 August 2020, regarding the active ingredient S17 - Sophora Flavescens of the Monograph List of Active Ingredients for Pesticides, Household Cleaning Products and Wood Preservers (...).

-includes the chard, acerola, watercress, lettuce, witloof chicory, blackberry, olive, chicory, spinach, raspberry, bluberry, strawberry, Brazilian cherry, arugula, and purple mombin cultures with MRL and safety security period "Not determined due to the organic and biodegradable character of the compunds".

The scientific methodology used by Brazil to establish Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) is consistent with international best practice. Countries set MRLs according to the good agricultural practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use patterns differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in food may differ from Codex standards.
Environment related objective
To account for the differences in environmental factors when determining the relevant Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for reducing the adverse consequences caused from the excessive use of chemical pesticides.
MRLs for this particular compound are to be determined taking into account its organic and biodegradable nature.
