US food companies gain entry to Australia by adjusting chemical residue limits, sparking debate.

US food companies have gained access to Australia's market by convincing regulators to adjust maximum residue limits for agricultural and veterinary chemicals in imported foods. Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) made these changes to align with international standards and reduce trade barriers, ensuring public health and consumer protection remain intact. This move affects a range of food products and has sparked debate over its impact on domestic producers.
