Amendment to the ACVM Regulations 2001: Public Consultation

NZFSA seeks submissions from all interested parties on any aspect of the proposals to amend the ACVM Regulations 2001. These Regulations are technical in nature and contain lists of types of products that are exempt from the requirement to be registered if certain conditions are met. The Regulations include minimum standards for products such as oral nutritional compounds (animal feeds and nutritional supplements), fertilisers and fertiliser additives. The Regulations also include a list of feed additives that are generally recognised as safe (GRAS).

The proposal for amendment includes some types of products that NZFSA considers could be managed without registration. It also includes additional substances that are being considered for listing as GRAS.

The discussion document has already been posted on the NZFSA website. This notice is to draw attention to the document and advise you that submissions close at 5.00pm, 10 July 2006. Submit your response to:
