| Maximum residue levels
Seeks assurance that the MRLs for pesticides and veterinary chemicals relative to seafood will be reviewed by FSANZ in conjunction with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, in an appropriate timeframe. Seeks advice when this review is proposed.

Believes the proposed standard needs to address the issue of physical hazards in fish marketed as filleted and boned.
Ready-to-eat seafood guidelines
Believes that the issue of bacteriological pathogens currently absent form the Code, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticaus, V. vulnificans, Yersinia enterocolitica, Clostridium botulinum (type E in particular) and Salmonella spp. needs to be addressed in the ready-to-eat food guidelines. The recent outbreaks of norovirus in Australia from Japanese oyster meat demonstrates the need exists, as well as the need for importers to demonstrate the safety of this product.
