FSANZ invites submissions on maximum residue limits
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has called for submissions on a proposal to introduce maximum residue limits (MRLs) for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals that may occur in food.
FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said that the purpose of this proposal is to consider incorporating MRLs for the chemicals coumatetralyl and warfarin.
“This will align the code with temporary MRLs that have been set by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA),” McCutcheon said.
“FSANZ’s dietary exposure assessment indicates that the limits set out in this proposal do not present any public health and safety concerns.”
The closing date for comments is 22 June 2015. Further information is available on the FSANZ website. Click here for information on how to make a submission.
