Consultation - Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds: Food Standards 2005 (No. 2)

The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) is inviting public comment on a discussion document which proposes to amend the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards 2005 (No.2).

The New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards are issued by the Minister for Food Safety under section 11C of the Food Act 1981. MRLs indicate the maximum residue limits of agricultural compounds permitted in food for sale in New Zealand.

Routine amendments to the NZ (MRL) Food Standards are undertaken several times a year to reflect changing uses of agricultural compounds in the production of food.

Any amendment arising from this consultation will form Amendment No.2 to the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards 2005 (No.2).

Closing date

This consultation closed on Wednesday 25 January 2006.
