AgVetLink April 2005
Compliance
The ACVM Group has been busy with a large number of non-compliant products that are being advertised on the Trade Me website. We have contacted the advertisers with the cooperation of Trade Me Limited. Many of the products are just ‘one off’s’ but we are keeping a watching brief on this to ensure that products are registered and meet the ACVM advertising requirements.
In addition to these concerns, we are still having problems with a number of oral nutritional compounds that are being offered for sale and marketed within the equine industry without registration. We are investigating one particular product that has been widely advertised (with unapproved claims) in monthly horse magazines.
Two investigations (one veterinary medicine and one plant compound) with the NZFSA Compliance and Investigation Group are currently going through prosecution. We should have more to report in the next issue of AgVetLink.
