§ Dr. KumarTo 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.
