The global food safety legislation portal is developed within the framework of the EU project SELAMAT, where it was identified that the official national MRLs and related legislation of trading countries were hard to find on the internet. A new portal was set up, to function as a 'guide' through on-line available information on legislation for contaminants, pesticides, veterinary drugs and additives.

 

Unique design
The portal is developed to provide links to overview pages, search engines and legislation databases containing current food safety legislation, MRLs and related information on the above mentioned subjects. Extra instructions on where and how to search in the reported links are provided for each item. This strategy was chosen since MRLs and legislation texts are continuously changing and 'hard links' to such data are rapidly out-dated. This distinguishes this portal from many others.

The number of subjects, countries and information types will be extended.
Subjects: Pesticides, Feed additives, Contaminants and Veterinary drugs.
