1080 Review

Late last year NZFSA reviewed:

• the documentation available in regards to 1080 use for control and eradication of pest species

• the outcomes of the reassessment of 1080 under the HSNO Act.

The final outcome of this review is that there are currently insufficient grounds to consider 1080 products for reassessment under the ACVM Act. The information considered by ERMA NZ and their reassessment does not materially affect the current ACVM controls and risk management.

The ACVM Group will consider label directions and educational resources that may aid in reducing the impact to domestic animals resulting from accidental poisoning as part of the normal process when an application is received or registrations are renewed.
