BASIS points applied for.
"The need to manage the use of pesticides at all stages of the food chain has become an essential part of food safety assurance programmes. This need has been given added impetus by current developments in pesticide approval and MRL legislation. In addition a more generalised requirement for pesticide residue minimisation is gaining support with many organisations, including regulators. Businesses in all parts of the food chain, from primary producers to retailers, must be proactive in the control of pesticides and be able to provide evidence that their controls are effective."
