Proposal M1020 - Maximum Residue Limits (2021) (Approval Report)

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) prepared and assessed a proposal to consider varying maximum residue limits (MRLs) for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. After that assessment, a draft food regulatory measure was prepared. On 23 March 2022, FSANZ sought submissions on the draft variation and published an associated report. FSANZ received three submissions. FSANZ approved the draft variation, with amendments, on 8 June 2022. The Food Minister’s Meeting (formerly The Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation) was notified of FSANZ’s decision on 16 June 2022.
