The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) supports today’sannouncement by Ravensdown and Ballance Agri-Nutrients that theyhave voluntarily suspended sales and use of Dicyandiamide (DCD)treatment on farm land until further notice.

第一产业部（MPI）支持今天宣布的消息，Ravensdown和BallanceAgri-Nutrients已经自愿暂停销售和在农场使用双氰胺（DCD，直至另行通知为止。

“Once we knew that even very low levels of DCD residues found inmilk may present a trade issue, MPI set up a working group toassess the impact of that, even though there is no food safetyconcern associated with the use of DCD,” Carol Barnao, MPI DeputyDirector General Standards says.

“一旦我们知道，即使是非常低水平DCD残留在牛奶中也可能存在贸易问题，MPI成立了一个工作组，以评估影响，即使是DCD的使用没有影响食品安全”MPI副主任Carol Barnao说。

Consumers’ have high expectations of New Zealand food and theregulations we have in place to ensure its quality and safety, MsBarnao says.

消费者对新西兰的食品有很高的期望，我们现有的食品规例，就是为了确保其质量和安全性，Barnao女士说。

“The crux of this is that there is no internationally set standardfor DCD residues in food. This is because DCD has not beenconsidered to have any impact on food safety.

“Because no standard exists, the detectable presence of DCDresidues in milk could be unacceptable to consumers and ourinternational markets, even in the small amounts found in recenttesting. Food regulators around the world are reflecting marketdemands with increasingly rigorous testing and in some countriesthere is a zero tolerance to detected residues outside agreedstandards.

问题的关键是，现在没有DCD残留在食品中的国际标准。这是因为DCD已经不被认为会对食品安全有任何影响。

“由于存在没有标准，牛奶中的检测DCD的残基存在可能是不能接受的消费者和我们的国际市场，在最近的测试中发现，即使在少量。世界各地的食品监管机构越来越严格的测试和反映市场的需求，在一些国家，有一个零容忍商定的标准外检测到的残留物。“

“New Zealand’s reputation is based on the high quality of food weproduce, so MPI is working across the board with primary producersto manage potential concerns for our markets andconsumers.“新西兰的声誉建立在我们生产高品质的食品，MPI是全线采用的主要生产商，以管理潜在的问题，为我们的市场和消费者。“DCD has been used in New Zealand farming in a unique andinnovative way and MPI has supported its development to address keyenvironmental issues.

“DCD已经以一个独特和创新的方式被用在新西兰农业中，MPI支持其发展，以解决关键的环境问题。

“Its application directly onto farm land is one of the morepromising ways of reducing nitrate leaching to waterways andgreenhouse gas emissions from farming, particularly dairying, aswell as promoting pasture growth.”

“它的直接作用到农场土地用来减少硝态氮淋失水道和温室气体排放，是农业的最有前途的方法之一，尤其是乳品业，以及促进牧草生长。”

MPI will work actively with other organisations to investigate whatthis suspension means in terms of the future use of DCD in farming,including the impact on water quality requirements.

“Given DCD’s environmental benefits, the working group willcontinue to assess its future use in a way that meets traderequirements,” Ms Barnao says.

“We appreciate there may be some impact on the small number ofdairy farmers that use DCD but believe this action is in the bestinterests of maintaining New Zealand’s reputation as a quality foodsupplier.”

MPI将积极与其他组织进行调查工作，对于未来农业DCD的使用，包括对水质要求的影响。

“基于DCD的环境效益，工作组将继续评估其未来使用的方式，以满足贸易要求，”Barnao女士说。

“我们承认这样的暂停会对很小一部分的乳制品农场产生影响，但相信这种行动是维护新西兰的声誉，优质食品供应商的最好办法。”

In December 2012, MPI set up a working group with industry toassess the use of DCD on farm land that might result in residues infood.

在2012年12月，MPI与工业界成立了一个工作组，以评估DCD农地使用，可能会导致食物中的残留。

The working group was established after advice to MPI in November2012 of the detection of the occasional presence of low levels ofDCD in dairy products coinciding with the times of the year thatDCD is applied (autumn, winter and spring).

The working group is made up of dairy company Fonterra, the DairyCompanies Association of New Zealand (DCANZ), Ravensdown, BallanceAgri-Nutrients, and staff from MPI.

该工作组是由恒天然乳品公司，新西兰乳业公司协会（DCANZ），BallanceAgri-Nutrients，MPI的工作人员。

Frequently asked questions voluntary suspension of DCDFood safetyHow do you know there is no food safety risk from DCDresidues in food?

Research shows no food safety risk or human or animal healthconcerns with DCD use. It is of very low toxicity, and even withextremely high doses it has been difficult to identify any adverseeffects.

DCD has been used commercially in New Zealand for directapplication to pasture since 2004 and MPI scientists have concludedthat DCD residues in food from pasture application do not raise anyfood safety concerns.

MPI and Ravensdown have done food safety assessments independently.Both assessments reached the same conclusion: that there was nolikely food safety risk from this use of DCD in New Zealand.

DCD is a compound which is used widely in a number of industriesincluding electronics, pharmaceuticals, and in food packaging.

你怎么知道DCD残留在食品中有没有食品安全风险？

研究表明，DCD的使用没有任何食品安全风险或人类或动物的健康问题。DCD只具有非常低的毒性，即使具有非常高的剂量，它一直难以识别任何不良影响。

在新西兰，DCD已经被用于商业用途，直接应用到牧场。自2004年以来，MPI科学家们得出的结论是DCD从牧场应用在食品残留不提出任何食品安全问题的。

MPI和Ravensdown做了独立的食品安全评估。这两种评估得出同样的结论：那就是DCD在新西兰的使用不会引发任何食品安全风险。

DCD是一个广泛使用的化合物，它是在一些行业，例如电子，制药，和在食品包装。

Was the question of DCD residues in food considered duringthe development of DCD for use on farm land in NewZealand?

Yes. In 2003, a year before release, Ravensdown engaged LandcareResearch to complete a comprehensive review on potentialenvironmental and human health effects arising from landapplication of DCD. This paper confirmed what we know today aboutthe product safety, and saw no impediments to use. Ravensdown alsoengaged with the Dairy Research Institute about the product and itsintended use.

In 2009 the Ministry for Primary Industries’ predecessors MAF andNew Zealand Food Safety Authority took part in a trial to look atthe levels of DCD that remained on pasture over time. The resultsshowed that animal intake of DCD presented no animal or food safetyconcerns.

DCD is essentially a non-toxic water soluble compound. It isbiodegradable in soil and it leaves no lingering residues in soil.It degrades to form carbon dioxide, ammonia and water.

新西兰在发展DCD的农场土地使用的时候有考虑过食品安全问题吗？

是的。2003年，在DCD使用的前一年，Ravensdown进行了一项全面的土地保护研究，包括潜在的环境和人类健康影响的研究。本文证实了我们今天所知道的有关产品的安全性。Ravensdown还参与了乳品研究院的产品和达到预定可使用状态。

2009年，第一产业部为主要产业的前辈MAF和新西兰食品安全局参加了在审判中，随着时间的推移，留在牧场的水平DCD看。结果表明，动物摄入的DCD没有提出任何动物或食品安全问题。

DCD是基本上无毒的水溶性化合物。它是可生物降解土壤中 ，并没有留下挥之不去的土壤中的残留物。它降解形成二氧化碳，氨和水。

Can DCD be used to boost protein levels inmilk?

DCD is one of a number of compounds that may be used to make thetotal nitrogen content of a food appear higher than it actually is.The DCD levels identified are very low and far below any level thatcould provide any economic advantage.

DCD可以提高牛奶的蛋白质水平？

DCD对提高蛋白水平的作用非常低，远低于任何级别，更别说提供任何经济上的优势。

Are DCD and melamine the same?

No.

Melamine is present in DCD in very small amounts. The melamine inDCD causes no health or regulatory issues. Testing has picked up nomelamine residues in milk products from DCD use.

International standards setting bodies have established a safelimit for melamine residues in food. This limit is far above anypotential residue of melamine from this DCD use.

DCD和三聚氰胺一样吗？

不！

三聚氰胺在DCD中含量微小。DCD中的三聚氰胺不会导致任何健康问题。在DCD农场的牛奶制品中，测试未显示任何三聚氰胺含量。

国际标准制定机构已经建立了安全限制食品中三聚氰胺残留。这个限制已经远远高于由于DCD中含有的三聚氰胺。

Were any melamine residues detected in the milk tested forDCD?

No. MPI testing under the National Chemical Contaminants Programmehas picked up no melamine residues in raw milk from DCD use thisis consistent with expectations.

牛奶中有被检测到任何三聚氰胺残留吗？

没有！

MPI根据国家化学污染物方案的测试DCD使用的原料奶没有三聚氰胺残留量回升 -这与预期一致。

About DCDWhat is DCD?

DCD is a compound that is being increasingly used in New Zealandagriculture (mainly dairy pasture) to simultaneously increasepasture production and address key environmental issues.

Its application directly onto farm land is one of the morepromising ways of reducing nitrate leaching to water (improvingwater quality) and greenhouse gas emissions (nitrous oxide) fromfarming, particularly dairying, as well as promoting pasturegrowth. The benefit of reducing nitrate leaching is that theimpacts of agricultural production on waterways may also bereduced.

New Zealand is unique in that DCD is sprayed directly ontopasture.

Internationally DCD is widely used in electronics, pharmaceuticals,and in food packaging plastics.

DCD是什么？

DCD是一种化合物，正在被越来越多地用于新西兰农业（主要是奶牛牧场），同时增加牧草生产和解决了一些关键的环境问题。

它会直接作用到农场土地，是减少硝态氮淋失的水（改善水质）和来自农业的温室气体排放（氮氧化物）的最有前途的方法之一，尤其是乳品业，以及促进牧草生长。减少硝酸浸出的好处是水路农业生产的影响也可以被减小。

新西兰是独一无二的，用DCD直接喷在牧场上。

国际DCD被广泛应用于电子，医药，和在食品包装中的塑料。

What farm land treatments have DCD as acomponent?

In New Zealand DCD products are sold under the brand names Eco-n(Ravensdown) and DCn (Ballance Agri-Nutrients). These are theproducts being suspended from the market.

How long does DCD remain in the soil?

DCD is completely biodegradable in soil and leaves no residues insoil. The rate of degradation varies depending on soil temperatureand the amount of rainfall. It stays longer in the soil at lowertemperatures and moves past the root zones quickly with heavyrainfall.

DCD is an essentially non toxic water soluble compound and isdegraded when applied to pastures and soils to carbon dioxide,ammonia and water.

DCD会在土壤中保留多久？

DCD是完全可生物降解土壤中 ，土壤中无残留。的降解速率取决于对土壤温度和降雨的量。停留时间较长，在土壤中，在较低温度和过去根区域中的快速移动大雨。

DCD是基本上无毒的水溶性化合物和被施加到牧场和二氧化碳，氨和水的土壤时退化。

新西兰是一个充满爱的国家，爱护这片土地的自然自然，爱护生态环境，爱护小动物爱护小朋友，我完全相信这样的国家绝对拥有最高级别的食品安全标准。世界上98%的奶源来自新西兰。DCD用来保护新西兰的河流，是一种可降解的物质，却要被谣言传成有毒物质，是要有多委屈哦。。。。
