NZFSA/ Standard OP2, section 7.0

When residue testing detects prohibited substances at levels that are greater than 5 percent of the NZFSA’s tolerance for the specific residue detected or unavoidable residual environmental contamination, the agricultural product must not be sold, labelled, or represented as organically produced. The Third Party Agency or NZFSA may conduct an investigation of the certified operation to determine the cause of the prohibited substance.
