Proposals to Amend the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards 2007
15 Proposal to delete the MRL exemption for Oestradiol 17β and its esters and conjugates
It is proposed that Schedule Three of the NZ (MRL) Food Standards 2007 be amended by deleting the following MRL exemption:
|
Compound |
CAS# |
Condition |
Oestradiol-17 beta and its esters or conjugates |
50-28-2 |
Used for treatment of suboestrus, dystocia, metritis, pyometra, retained placenta, anoestrus in mares or growth promotion in cattle |
Amendment Rationale
Inline with a reassessment of products containing oestradiol-17 beta under the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997, the MRL exemption for oestradiol-17 beta is proposed to be withdrawn from the MRL Standards. Residues of oestradiol-17 beta in food producing animal species will be managed under the provisions of the Animal Products (Residue Specifications) Notice, issued under the Animal Products Act 1999.
