据澳大利亚农药和兽药管理局1月28日消息，澳大利亚农药和兽药管理局（APVMA）发布2014年第2号公报，拟修订《澳新食品标准法典》第1.4.2章农兽药最大残留限量标准。

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.
