This manuscript is to document the procedures developed by JECFA for the evaluation of residues of veterinary drugs in food. It includes in many instances, the historical development leading to the current procedures. In consolidating the pertinent evaluation procedures, it is intended to provide guidance to present and future members of JECFA and to provide transparency on how the food safety assessments performed by JECFA for residues of veterinary drugs in food are conducted. While informativ e for establishing ADIs and recommending MRLs, it is not intended to be a proscriptive document on how Member Governments might develop their national regulations for residues of veterinary drugs in food.

Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food. FAO Procedural Guidelines for the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Rome, September 2002 2002

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) is convened by FAO and WHO under their respective terms of reference for Expert Committees. This document describes the procedures used by FAO in its evaluation of veterinary drug residues in food; a separate document describes the procedures used by WHO*. While common procedures are used in most instances, separate guidelines for the two organizations have been prepared because they have differing rules and regulations for expert comm ittees and because the expertise required and the work done by experts invited by the two organizations is different. JECFA is convened according to Article VI of the Constitution of FAO (the text is available at www.fao.org/legal under “Basic Texts”): the Director-General on the authority of the Conference or Council may establish committees and working parties to study and report on matters pertaining to the purpose of the Organization and consisting of individuals appointed in their personal capacity because of their special competence in technical matters. Joint committees may also be established in conjunction with other intergovernmental organizations.
