    Section 4.2. JECFA’s approach for assessing dietary exposure to veterinary drug residues: Estimating dietary exposure using global estimated chronic dietary exposure (GECDE) and global estimated acute dietary exposure (GEADE)
    2024
    Also available in:

    JECFA uses a novel, data-driven process for predicting the amounts of animal-derived food products consumed by people. This process has significant impacts on the resulting drug residue exposure assessment. In this guidance document you will: • learn about the food intake processes used by JECFA and their use in the subsequent exposure estimates (global estimated chronic/acute dietary exposure; GECDE/GEADE); and• incorporate residue depletion data (average or high-level residues) from animal-derived food products with dietary food intake estimates to predict acute (GEADE) and chronic (GECDE) exposure to veterinary drug residues, using the skills learned in Section 3.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.

    Section 4.1. JECFA’s approach for assessing dietary exposure to veterinary drug residues: Estimating total residues for use in dietary exposure assessment
    2024
    Also available in:

    By this point, you will understand the roles of both the total residue and marker residue depletion studies. Consult the guidance document to: • review how the M:T ratios are calculated in edible tissues at any time point after drug administration; and• see how total residue estimates are calculated based on the marker residue depletion and M:T data.

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.

    Section 2. Hazard assessment: How health-based guidance values are derived and used in the JECFA drug residue risk assessment
    2024
    Also available in:

    Specific types of toxicological and microbiological data are essential for performing a robust hazard assessment of veterinary drug residues. The International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products (VICH) and other agencies provide guidance on the design and analysis of such studies. Consult the guidance document on hazard assessment to learn how JECFA identifies key study outcomes and subsequently derives relevant HBGVs, including the following processes:• Toxicological studies: Determining the no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) from toxicological studies and selecting an appropriate uncertainty (safety) factor (UF);• Microbiological studies: How minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data can be used to assess relevant microbiological endpoints, such as disruption of the colonization barrier in the human colon and emergence of antimicrobial resistance; • Derivation of both chronic (acceptable daily intake) and acute (acute reference dose) health-based guidance values, and the difference between these HBGVs.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.
