Part 6 of the Food Regulations 2015 (the regulations) also applies. These regulations:
Specify the criteria for setting by notice the maximum residue levels, or exemptions, for agricultural compounds for specified foods; and
Prohibit the sale of food containing residues that exceed levels specified by notice; and
Provide for a default residue level of 0.1 mg/kg where levels are not otherwise provided by notice.
