AgVetLink: Number 68, June 2008
Food Residue Surveillance Programme (FRSP)
Season 1 and 2 (07-08) results
The FRSP for the 07-08 period has now been completed. The results from the first season indicated a number of non-compliances. The results from the second season had a lower level of non-compliance (see table below).
The non-compliance residues were all from New Zealand produce. The relevant industry sector and growers were advised of these results. Growers were reminded of their responsibilities where off-label use was involved to ensure they manage the residue situation.
NZFSA is currently working on the next round of the FRSP. It is anticipated that there will be sampling of imported produce and a revisit of crops where non-compliant results were found in the past.
