據(jù)澳大利亞農藥和獸藥管理局1月28日消息，澳大利亞農藥和獸藥管理局（APVMA）發(fā)布2014年第2號公報，擬修訂《澳新食品標準法典》第1.4.2章農獸藥最大殘留限量標準。
部分原文如下：
Under Section 82 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 the APVMA is proposing to incorporate these variations（Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4（MRL Standard）Amendment Instrument 2014
（No. 1））to MRLs into Standard 1.4.2-Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
MRLs contained in Standard 1.4.2 provide the limits for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals that may legitimately occur in foods. By this means, Standard 1.4.2 permits the sale of treated foods and protects public health and safety by minimising residues in foods consistent with the effective control of pests and diseases.
The APVMA and FSANZ are satisfied, based on dietary exposure assessments and current health standards, that the proposed limits are not harmful to public health.
