Commission Directive 99/50/EC amending Directive 91/321/EEC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae.

A definition on pesticide residue is here given and new rules on infant formulae and follow-on formulae are introduced. Infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children. Necessary maximum levels shall be established without delay. Infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain residues of individual pesticides at levels exceeding 0,01 mg/kg of the product as proposed ready for consumption or as reconstituted according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Analytical methods for determining the levels of pesticide residues shall be generally acceptable standardised methods. Those pesticides listed in Annex IX shall not be used in agricultural products intended for the production of infant formulae and follow-on formulae. (4 articles)
