Proposal P1027 – Managing Low-level Ag & Vet Chemicals without Maximum Residue Limits

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has assessed a proposal prepared by FSANZ to manage low-level agricultural and veterinary (agvet) chemicals without Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in Schedule 20 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code). That is, the food commodity is not listed for an agvet chemical currently in the Code. On 22 April 2016, FSANZ sought submissions on a draft variation and published an associated report. FSANZ received 13 submissions. FSANZ approved the draft variation on 19 October 2016. The Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation (Forum) was notified of FSANZ’s decision on 25 October 2016.
