Pesticide (Chemical. Detection Any milk collection, which has residues greater than the Maximum Residue Level (>MRL) standards shall be rejected (Reference Food Standards)
Pesticide (Chemical. Exposure Policy Chemicals are used on dairy farms to control pests and diseases for crops and animals. When these chemicals are applied it is important that the dosage rate and withholding periods are followed. If chemicals have been used to the manufacturer's recommendation on the label, residue levels should not be detected or exceed the MRL limits. It is the responsibility of the supplier to make sure that the instructions on the label are followed. However, if a supplier suspects that the milk may be contaminated, immediate action and notification to Real Dairy is required. Where a supplier suspects that a contamination has occurred and a withhold period has not been met, Real Dairy reserves the right to conduct an audit of the Food Safety Program to determine the cause.
