Sabotaged!
At the 36th meeting of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), the US delegation stalled crucial discussions on maximum residue limits (MRLs) for processed or ready-to-eat foods. It achieved this by simply not presenting its paper on the subject. The meet was held in New Delhi from April 19-24.
CCPR is responsible for establishing maximum limits for pesticide residues in food commodities. It comes under the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC)
