Acceptable Daily Intake Not Specified (Pesticide Residues)
Acceptable Daily Intake Not Specified (Pesticide Residues) : An ADI without an explicit indication of the upper limit of intake may be assigned to substances of very low toxicity, especially those that are food constituents or that may be considered as foods or normal metabolites in man. This expression was adopted as a more suitable expression than ''ADI not limited'' which was previously used. An additive having an ''ADI not specified'' must meet the criteria of good manufacturing practices, for example, it should have proved technological efficacy and be used at the minimum level of technological efficacy, it should not conceal inferior food quality or adulteration, and it should not create a nutritional imbalance. The above expression means that, on the basis of available data (chemical, biochemical, and toxicological), the total daily intake of the substance arising from its use or uses at levels necessary to achieve the desired effect and from its acceptable background in food, does not represent a hazard to health. For this reason, and for reasons stated in the individual evaluations, the establishment of an acceptable daily intake expressed in mg/kg body weight is not deemed necessary
