Synopsis (short abstract) This volume contains monographs prepared at the ninety-fourth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met in a virtual format, from 16 to 27 May 2022. The toxicological monographs in this volume summarize data on the veterinary drug residues that were evaluated toxicologically by the Committee: imidacloprid and nicarbazin. Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations on these and other drugs (ivermectin and selamectin) discussed at the ninety-fourth meeting, including acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs) and proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs). This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives Series contain information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives and veterinary drugs, and those involved with controlling contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities.

This report represents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee convened to evaluate the safety of residues of certain veterinary drugs in food and to recommend maximum levels for such residues in food. The first part of the report considers general principles regarding the evaluation of residues of veterinary drugs within the terms of reference of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). It covers topics such as the parallel review process; estimation of dietary exposure to veterinary drug residues; a risk-based decision tree approach for safety evaluation; assessment of the potential effects of residues on the human intestinal microbiome. Summaries follow the Committee’s evaluations of toxicological and residue data on a variety of veterinary drugs: two antiparasitic agents (imidacloprid, ivermectin) and one coccidiostat (nicarbazin). Additionally, further evaluation of the parasiticide selamectin is included as part of a pilot in support of the proposed parallel review process. Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations on these drugs, including acceptable daily intakes and proposed maximum residue limits.
