Matters at Full Assessment

The authority has made preliminary assessments, accepted the following applications, prepared the following proposal and will now make full assessments of them:

Maximum Residues Limits (A331). An application received on 30 December 1996 from the National Registration Authority proposes to amend the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of certain agricultural and veterinary chemicals in food. All the chemicals have been cleared and registered for specified agricultural uses and MRLs have been recommended to ANZFA for inclusion in the Australian Food Standards Code. In accordance with the transitional arrangements for food standards between Australia and New Zealand, individual country MRLs for agriculture and veterinary chemicals continue to apply for these standards and this application proposes changes for MRLs in Australia only.

You are invited to present written submissions to the authority on matters relevant to these applications, including the potential regulatory impact on consumers, industry and government by 30 April 1997.

General Standard for Food Additives (P150). A proposal to develop a revised standard for food additives, as part of the authority’s current review of food standards. It is expected the revised standard will form part of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. The revised standard will set out a list of approved food additives, the conditions under which they may be added to foods and the foods in which they may be present.

You are invited to present written submissions to the authority on matters relevant to these applications, including the potential regulatory impact on consumers, industry and government by 30 June 1997.
