Footnote 1 Under the approved conditions of use, the predicted levels of residues of these veterinary drugs in foods are considered unlikely to be of human safety concern, and there is no need to routinely monitor these residues to ensure consumer safety. See Frequently Asked Questions - MRLs for further information. Return to footnote 1 referrer
