DocumentProcedures for Recommending Maximum Residue Limits — Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food (1987-1999), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Rome, 2000 2000
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (series)Compendium of Food Additive Specifications - Addendum 13. Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), 65th meeting 2005. FAO Food and Nutrition Paper 52 2005This volume contains specifications of identity and purity prepared at the 65th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Geneva, 7 - 16 June 2005. These specifications should be considered only in conjunction with the report of the above meeting which will be printed in the WHO Technical Report Series. Toxicological monographs of the substances considered at the 65th meeting of JECFA will be published in the WHO Food Additives Series. The general principles applied in the elaboration of specifications established at the earlier JECFA sessions have been published in the Principles for the Safety Assessment of Food Additives and Contaminants in Food, WHO Environmental Health Criteria, No. 70, 1987. The specifications of identity and purity of food additives established by JECFA are meant to identify the substance that has been subject to biological testing, to ensure that the substance is of adequate degree of purity for safe use in food, and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practices. These principles were last reaffirmed by the 59th session of JECFA in 2002.

DocumentFAO Procedural Guidelines for the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Food Additives and Food Contaminants (Rome, February 2003) 2003
Also available in:
No results found.These notes are designed to provide guidance to the FAO Joint Secretary, FAO Consultants, Members and sponsors relating their roles and responsibilities in dealing with the evaluation of food additives and contaminants. The guidelines outline the tasks of the FAO Joint Secretariat and its role in servicing JECFA, time schedules to be followed in preparing for meetings, the appropriate handling of data, and appropriate relationships with sponsors and other data providers. Supplemental material is included that outlines the procedures by which substances may be placed on the agenda (Annex 1) and procedures for issuing the call for data (Annex 2). Close adherence to these guidelines by everyone involved will ensure that the concerns and views of all interested parties are taken into account in the decisions of JECFA and that the independence and integrity of the evaluations are maintained, both in appearance and in actual fact.
