English translation:restrictions on the residue level
Explanation:
I'm pretty sure they are referring to restrictions on the amount of drug residing in meat from treated livestock. The limits for common active ingredients can be looked up in a federal database.

From the Codex Alimentarius Commission:
http://www.fao.org/fao-who-codexalimentarius/sh-proxy/en/?ln...
Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) and Risk Management Recommendations (RMR) for Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods

https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health...
This List of MRLs for Veterinary Drugs in Foods sets out the level of residue that could safely remain in the tissue or food product derived from a food-producing animal that has been treated with a veterinary drug. It is incorporated by reference in the Marketing Authorization for Maximum Residue Limits for Veterinary Drugs in Foods.

evaluated for residue safety


Explanation:
Something like this might work:

"He will consult the Federal Office of Public Health if the active ingredients in question have not been evaluated for residue safety."

Compare with this:

"These are VMP's whose active ingredients have been evaluated for residue safety and withdrawal periods." https://www.gov.gg/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=102135&p=0

residue control


Explanation:
The animals mentioned in the text are those bred for their flesh, i.e., cattle, sheep, hens, and etc.
They are given drugs to treat their diseases. However, residues of these drugs may remain in their tissues, and be dangerous to the lives of the people that eat their flesh.
Therefore, the flesh of these animals should be checked for residues.
Check the link below:
https://ec.europa.eu/food/safety/chemical_safety/vet_med_res...

The proper translation can be as follows:
For veterinary medicinal products intended for the treatment of food-producing animals, the Institute shall only authorize the medicinal products if those products are such that the food obtained does not endanger health. It shall consult the Federal Office of Public Health if no residue control exists for the active substances concerned
