Synopsis (short abstract) The use of veterinary drugs in food-producing animals can leave residues that may pose a risk to consumers when they consume animal-derived food products. A rigorous scientific assessment can help mitigate these risks while facilitating the international trade of animal-derived food products.Consult the guidance document on the introduction to the JECFA veterinary drug residue risk assessment process to: • get an overview of the purpose and content of the toolbox; • understand how JECFA interacts with other agencies, participants and stakeholders in the broader veterinary drug residue risk analyses; and• read a Q&A on the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food (CCRVDF) and JECFA.This publication is part of the FAO JECFA Toolbox for Veterinary Drug Residue Risk Assessment. The toolbox provides practical guidance on the principles, modalities and technical requirements of JECFA in assessing the risks of veterinary drug residues in food and in recommending MRLs.
