To maintain Australia’s excellent reputation for food safety it is essential that Australian wineries and grapegrowers continue to ensure their products meet the requirements of the Food Standards Code. This includes compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) of agrochemical residues for Australia and export destinations.

AWRI Commercial Services offers a large simultaneous screen of approximately 70 registered or recently deregistered agrochemicals at levels at or below the lowest MRL of any export destination. This analysis can be done on either grapes or wines and enables wineries to evaluate their risk of non-compliance with domestic or export regulations. More details are available on the agrochemical analysis webpage. The AWRI website also contains a database of MRLs for all major wine export destinations and agrochemicals.
