Safe food is that which does not contain pathogens, toxins or other injurious substance above a level that is likely to endanger consumer health

Detailed characteristics of the LIN 1 landing data, as well as the spatial, temporal, target species and depth distributions relative to the catch of ling in LIN 1 are presented. Annual performance of the LIN 1 catches and some regulatory information are also presented.

Pasteurisation of milk is a key component in control of milk-borne pathogens that
threaten public health (Holsinger et al 1997). It was originally developed for the control of infection due to brucellosis and tuberculosis from infected cattle, but also controls a wide range of other human pathogens

Dairy monitoring and surveillance programmes for selected substances of interest have been in operation in New Zealand for many years, and a national programme monitoring raw milk was introduced in the 1996/97 dairy season. Since that time the programme has become an official programme under the Dairy Industry (National Residue Monitoring Programme) Regulations 2002, and is administered by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)

Vessel biofouling is a significant pathway for the introduction of nonindigenous
marine species (NIMS). The Craft Risk Management Standard (CRMS): Biofouling on Vessels Arriving to New Zealand specifies the hull fouling thresholds that vessels must meet.

Requirements for the assessment of dairy heat treatment equipment and systems have been
reviewed because of several key drivers: The move of the dairy sector to coverage by the Animal Products Act 1999 which has made some terminology in the Approved Criteria and associated guidance material obsolete. The requirements were not clear or easy to comply with.
