The draft Food Safety (Residues of Veterinary and Fishery Drug) Regulations, 2024 aim to ensure the safety of food products by regulating the presence of residues from veterinary drugs and fishery drugs. These regulations establish maximum residue limits (MRLs) for these substances in various food products, such as meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. By setting these limits, the regulations seek to prevent harmful residues from entering the food supply and posing risks to consumer health.
