Q

Target Test Level

A

*MILK ONLY
-used for antibiotics that have been used in the past prior to these regulations being put into place
-acceptable by FDA-so a certain amount of residue within a range (ex. penicillin residue will not cause prosecution until 5 ppb)
doesn’t protect milk producers from court enforcement/right to do something at a later date
