SFA proposes the following amendments to the Food Regulations:a)    To specify maximum residue limits (MRLs) for residues of veterinary drugs in food;b)    To amend the definition of “veterinary drugs” in the Food Regulations to be in line with the definition used by the Codex Alimentarius Commission;c)    To adopt the term “antimicrobial agent” and the accompanying definition (which is consistent with the definition used by the Codex Alimentarius Commission) in place of the current term “antibiotic” and its definition in the Food Regulations.
