Pesticides in Animal Feeds (Hansard, 16 July 1998)

HL Deb 16 July 1998 vol 592 cc40-1WA 41WA

§ The Countess of Mar
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Why there are no maximum residue levels (MRLs) set for pesticides in animal foodstuffs. [HL2623]

§ Lord Donoughue
Maximum residue levels (MRLs) set by the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feedingstuffs) Regulations 1994, as amended, apply whether the commodity is to be used for human or animal consumption. In addition, further maximum limits are set for a few pesticides in animal feeds under EC measures implemented in Great Britain in the Feedings Stuff Regulations 1995, as amended.
