NZFSA website

The wider NZFSA website has a range of other information that is likely to be of interest to some readers of AgVetLink.

The May 2003 edition of the Animal Products Bulletin can be found at http://www.nzfsa.govt.nz/animalproducts/bulletins.

It has a number of items of interest such as the development of a national livestock and animal tracing information system by Terry Ryan. The Policy and Law area has a copy of the discussion paper on voluntary GM Free labelling at http://www.nzfsa.govt.nz/policy-law/consultation/index.htm. Comments close on 30 May 2003.

There is also the latest information on the recall of products from Pan Pharmaceuticals in Australia.
