Amendments to the Regulations are proposed to establish safe limits for residues of the veterinary drugs ceftiofur, monensin, pirlimycin and teflubenzuron in foods originating from animals treated with these particular drugs. These veterinary drugs are an important tool in the production of healthy animals which are destined for use as food. Extensive studies have determined that the food commodities containing residues of ceftiofur, monensin, pirlimycin and teflubenzuron at levels up to the maximum residue limits (MRLs) listed in the proposed amendments are safe for consumption. These MRLs would apply to foods produced domestically or imported into Canada.
