Book (stand-alone)Pesticide monitoring programme in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
Situation analysis report
2021Also available in:
No results found.In the objective of developing a guide for the countries in the ASEAN, a questionnaire was circulated among them to assess the status of their pesticide monitoring programs. Many countries around the globe have adopted a pesticide risk management framework which incorporates a range of functions and activities including pesticide registration, MRL setting, approval of a pesticide product label, farmer education, pesticide control-of-use regulation, food traceability, verification of good agricultural practice, national residue monitoring programmes, facilitation of trade and market access, traceback investigation and pesticide review. The frameworks tend to be operated as a continuum seeking ongoing improvement in good agricultural practice and enhancements to food safety. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), Codex Alimentarius, and members recognize the need for a comprehensive framework for pesticide residue management though science-based risk assessment, management and communication. Member countries recognize that a sound pesticide residue framework does not rely only on residue monitoring but it importantly includes at the very least pesticide registration, chemical control-of-use, traceback investigation and a chemical review process. In consultation with the ASEAN Health Cluster 4: Ensuring Food Safety, these findings are the result of a meeting occurred on 25 August 2020 and it elaborates the responses from a questionnaire to assess the situation responses to the comprehensive questionnaire issued on 12 September 2020. -
BookletFAO pesticide residue monitoring project for Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. Situation Assessment
Meeting Report, 25 August 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognises the need for a comprehensive framework for pesticide residue risk management through science-based risk assessment, management and communication. FAO and Codex Alimentarius Members also recognize that a sound pesticide residue risk management framework does not only rely on residue monitoring, but also includes pesticide registration, chemical control-of-use, traceback investigation and a chemical review process. Moreover, there is an increasing focus on harmonisation of the pesticide management framework, including the setting of maximum residue limits. Noting the broad spectrum of pesticide residue risk management frameworks present in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, FAO recognises the need to develop a guidance document to assist countries in establishing such a framework through appropriate residue monitoring initiatives, traceback review, farm level education and pesticide use review. In order for FAO to assist ASEAN country participants via guidance documents, it is necessary to determine the current situation in the ten countries to better understand the needs, gaps and opportunities. The FAO project team arranged an initial virtual meeting with a view to encouraging open constructive discussion between FAO and participating countries. This report sets out the key information obtained from the 25 August 2020 Situation Assessment virtual meeting that presented the background to the FAO Pesticide residue monitoring project for ASEAN countries and asked four introductory questions of the participants designed to obtain information about the current situation with respective national residue monitoring initiatives. -
Book (series)Residue Evaluation of Certain Veterinary Drugs
Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives - 85th Meeting 2017
2018Also available in:
No results found.This volume of FAO JECFA Monographs contains residue evaluation of certain veterinary drugs prepared at the 85th Meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Geneva, 17–26 October 2017. This was the twenty-fifth JECFA meeting specifically convened to consider residues of veterinary drugs in food. The Committee elaborated principles for evaluating the safety of residues of veterinary drugs in food, for establishing acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) and for recommending maximum residue limits (MRLs) for such residues when the drugs under consideration are administered to food-producing animals in accordance with good practice in the use of veterinary drugs (GVP). Furthermore, the committee evaluated the safety of residues of eight veterinary drugs and responded to specific concerns raised by the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods. The enclosed monographs provide the scientific basis for the recommendations of MRLs, including information on chemical identity and properties of the compounds, pharmacokinetics and metabolism, residue depletion studies and analytical methods validated and used for the detection and quantification of the compounds. This publication and other documents produced by JECFA contain information that is useful to all those who work with or are involved with recommending or controlling maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs in food.
