The Animals, Meat and Meat Products (Examination for Residues and Maximum limits) Regulations 1991
These Regulations revoke and re-enact provisions formerly contained in the Animals and Fresh Meat (Examination for Residues) Regulations 1988 (in so far as they related to Great Britain), the Meat and Meat Products (Hormonal Substances) Regulations 1989, the Meat and Meat Products (Hormonal Substances) (Scotland) Regulations 1989 and the Hormonal Substances (Food Sources) (Animals) Regulations 1991 concerning the examination of animals, meat and meat products for the presence of residues and taking of further action in the event of any animal, or meat product being found to contain a residue of a hormonal substance. In addition, the Regulations contain various new provisions prohibiting the presence in food and food sources of unlicensed substances and regulating the presence in food and food sources of authorised substances by specifying maximum residue limits which will apply in respect of such substances.
