Abstract

During the last decade considerable attention throughout the world has been given to pesticide residues in foodstuffs. In some countries policies have been adopted of phasing out some types of persistent pesticides and reducing the tolerances in foods to a minimum. Since the economy of New Zealand is largely dependent on the export of butter, cheese, and meat, the production of which involves the use of pesticides, there has been concern that the residues of these pesticides should not exceed the tolerances in the importing countries. Consequently, the permitted uses of pesticides in New Zealand, particularly organochlorine insecticides1, have been frequently reviewed and there have been many amendments of the relevant legislation, some of which had been in force for a number of years.
