HC Deb 20 July 2000 vol 354 c279W
Dr. Kumar

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the maximum safe level is of glyphosates for daily intake, per kilogram of body weight per day. [131005]

Ms Quin

[holding answer 17 July 2000]: I have been asked to reply.

The World Health Organisation has established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for glyphosate of a maximum of 0.3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. The ADI is the amount of a chemical which can be consumed every day of an individual's entire lifetime in the practical certainty, on the basis of all known facts, that no harm will result.
