The Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Crops, Food and Feeding Stuffs) Regulations 1994
These Regulations, which do not extend to Northern Ireland, are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and Part III of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 and supersede the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Food) Regulations 1988. They specify new maximum levels of pesticide residues which may be left in crops, food and feeding stuffs in accordance with Council Directives made subsequently to the making of the superseded Regulations. They also prescribe how much of a particular product is to be taken into account in determining whether a maximum level has been exceeded.
