Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) published a Proposal to Amend Schedule 20 of the revised Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (11 July 2017). The Proposal aims to align certain maximum residue limits (MRLs) for various agricultural and veterinary chemicals, so that they are consistent with other national regulations relating to the safe and effective use of agricultural and veterinary chemicals.
Among others, the proposal adds the MRL for sulfoxaflor in macadamia nuts at 0.01* ppm (* indicates lower limit of determination).
The deadline for public comments is September 8, 2017.
