Abstract

This Regulation establishes that residues of veterinary medicinal products are all pharmacologically active substances, whether active principles, excipients or degradation products, and their metabolites which remain in foodstuffs obtained from animals to which the veterinary medicinal product in question has been administered, and that maximum residue limits means the maximum concentration of residue resulting from the use of a veterinary medicinal product which may be accepted by the Community to be legally permitted in or on a food. This Regulation is based on the type and amount of residue considered being without any toxicological hazard for human health.
