Codex standard 193

Codex Standard 193 is a global guideline set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission that establishes safe levels of residues from veterinary medicines in food animals, such as meat, milk, and eggs. Its purpose is to ensure that these residues do not pose health risks to consumers while allowing effective animal health treatments. The standard specifies maximum residue limits (MRLs) for various medicines, balancing animal welfare, food safety, and trade considerations. It helps countries harmonize their food safety regulations, ensuring that animal products are safe, realistic to produce, and comparable across different regions.
