• Amendments to the residue limit standards for four kinds of pesticides and veterinary drugs in food: dichloroisocyanuric acid, buflufenapyr, thiazamide and thiensulfuron.
• The Notice and changes will be implemented from the date of publication, but some food products will have one-year transition period.
