21058 (2025). Steve Abel to the Minister of Health: What advice, if any, has been requested from the Ministry of Health by the Minister for Agriculture regarding the proposal to increase the maximum residue limit for glyphosate from the default of 0.1mg/kg to 6mg/kg for field pea (dry), as outlined in the Proposal to Amend the New Zealand Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds released March 17, 2025, by date and title?

Hon Simeon Brown: Our Government has focused the Ministry on ensuring that all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare. The Ministry has no involvement in this proposal.
