Imported Seafood Survey
There has been considerable media and public interest in the standards and testing applied to imported seafood products. Globally, there is concern over the presence of residues in seafood and the effects of these residues on the health of the consumer. Australian consumers have expressed concerns to the Australian Government regarding the fitness for human consumption of imported seafood.
In response to these concerns, AQIS conducted a survey on imported seafood products from April 2006 to March 2007. AQIS designed this survey to provide a 'snapshot' on the potential presence of residues of agricultural and veterinary compounds in imported seafood and whether the current testing done under the Imported Food Inspection Scheme was up to date.
