Executive summary Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) received an Application from the Australian Food and Grocery Council and Patties Foods Limited on 13 March 2013. The Application sought the inclusion of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for the agricultural chemicals Azoxystrobin, Fenhexamid and Fludioxonil in blueberries and Bifenthrin in raspberries in Standard 1.4.2 in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code). Standard 1.4.2 lists the MRLs for agricultural and veterinary chemical residues which may occur in foods in Australia. Limits prescribed in the Code constitute a mandatory requirement applying to all food products of a particular class whether produced domestically or imported. FSANZ estimated the dietary exposure of the Australian population to these chemicals, which indicated that the proposed limits for the residues do not present any public health and safety concerns in relation to the health-based guidance values.
