New Zealand's ministry of primary industry announced on November 29 that it would revise the maximum residue limit for eight pesticides, according to the ministry of primary industry.

These 8 pesticides include:

Chlormequat, fluopyramide, fluralaner, fluxapyroxad, halofuginone, lignocaine, oxathiapiprolin, trifloxystrobin.

In addition to proposing to revise the above 8 pesticides, the ministry of primary industry of New Zealand also proposed to exempt some of the microbial active ingredients and the maximum residue limit of the shellfish.

Some of the original reports are as follows:

Maximum Residue Levels （MRLs） are the maximum legal levels for residues of agricultural chemicals and veterinary medicines in food for sale in New Zealand. As new products and uses are registered, new MRLs are set and existing MRLs are adjusted as needed to ensure that residue levels remain as low as practicable without compromising the ability for the chemical to successfully do what is intended. MRLs are established for agricultural compounds to support good agricultural practice in New Zealand while ensuring risks associated with food safety are effectively managed.
