This confirms that **MPI is the agency that administers the ACVM regime** in New Zealand. It is an official agency navigation/summary page, not the statute — the governing Act is covered separately in `NZ_ACVM_ACT_1997`. The English text below is the verbatim C1-checked source.\n\n## Key facts (verbatim from the MPI page)\n\n- The page sits under the MPI section \"Agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines\" and references \"agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)\".\n- MPI provides \"Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)\" as the official entry point for the regime.\n- Related MPI ACVM pages include \"Importing veterinary medicines\", \"Veterinary medicines and the ACVM Act 1997\", and \"Agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM) registers and lists\".\n- MPI signposts \"approvals\" for agricultural and horticultural product approvals under the ACVM improvements programme.\n\n## Relevance to pet food\n\nACVM authorisation is the regime under which pet-food additives and medicated-feed actives are approved/registered in New Zealand. This page establishes the **administrative home (MPI)** of that regime.\n\n## Honest gaps\n\n- This is a navigation/summary page; it does not contain the statutory approval mechanics. Those live in the ACVM Act 1997 (see `NZ_ACVM_ACT_1997`) and MPI's deeper sub-pages, which were blocked by an Imperva/Incapsula WAF even via relay and are **honest-pending**.\n","sources":["nz-2026 — Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM) (retrieved 2026-08-18)"],"source":{"authority":"nz-2026","title":"Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)","url":"https://www.mpi.govt.nz/agriculture/agricultural-compounds-vet-medicines/authorisation-of-acvm","retrieved":"2026-08-18","ref":"","doc_type":"official source","source_document":"MPI — Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)","verification_file":"MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries, New Zealand) 'Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)' page.
