China: China Notifies Draft Standard of Maximum Residue Limits for 41 Veterinary Drugs in Foods

On October 27, 2021, China notified the National Food Safety Standard of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for 41 Veterinary Drugs in Food to the World Trade Organization (WTO) as G/SPS/N/CHN/1233. The deadline for comment submissions is December 26, 2021. The proposed date of entry into force is yet to be determined. Comments can be sent to WTO/SPS National Notification and Enquiry Center at sps@customs.gov.cn. Please note that these proposed limits will not come into force until China updates the National Food Safety Standard of Maximum Residue Limits for Veterinary Drugs in Foods (GB 31650-2019) (see GAIN report CH2019/0176). The report contains an unofficial translation of the draft MRLs that affects the meat/livestock, poultry, seafood, and apiculture sectors.
