Synopsis (short abstract) This report represents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee convened to evaluate the safety of certain food additives and enzymes, and to review and prepare specifications for the identity and purity of these food additives and enzymes.The report provides a summary of the Committee’s evaluations of technical, toxicological and/or dietary exposure data for nine specific food additives and processing aids: adipates, amyloglucosidase (JECFA95-4) from Rasamsonia emersonii expressed in Aspergillus niger, ascorbyl palmitate, carob bean gum, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, Gardenia (Genipin) Blue, glycolipids, rosemary extract and thaumatin II. The assessments of adipates and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate were of dietary exposure only. The specifications for amyloglucosidase (JECFA95-4) from Rasamsonia emersonii expressed in Aspergillus niger and ascorbyl palmitate were revised. New specifications were prepared for Gardenia (Genipin) Blue, glycolipids and thaumatin II.Of the food additives and processing aids considered for specifications only, the specifications for α-amylase (JECFA95-1) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis, α-amylase (JECFA95-2) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis, α-amylase (JECFA95-3) from Rhizomucor pusillus expressed in Aspergillus niger, asparaginase (JECFA95-5) from Pyrococcus furiosus expressed in Bacillus subtilis, β-amylase (JECFA95-6) from Bacillus flexus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis and xylanase (JECFA95-9) from Bacillus licheniformis expressed in Bacillus licheniformis were revised. The Committee generated new specifications for low-acyl clarified gellan gum (INS No. 418(ii)) and revised the existing specifications monograph for gellan gum (INS No. 418(i)).

This document contains monographs on residue evaluations of certain veterinary drugs, prepared at the seventieh meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 21 to 29 October 2008. Three substances were evaluated for the first time for the animal species concerned, avilamycin, monensin and narasin. Four substances were reassessed, dexamethasone, tilmicosin, triclabendazole and tylosin. The residue monographs provide informatio n 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. In addition to these monographs, this document includes the considerations and recommendations developed by the Committee for residues of veterinary drugs in honey and possible approaches to derive MRLs for this commodity; and a monograph on residues in aquatic species of and an estimata tion of human dietary exposure to malachite green (an antimicrobial agent and contamimant). This publication and other documents produced by JECFA contain information that is useful to those who work with or are involved with recommending or controlling maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs in foods.

This report represents the conclusions of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) convened to evaluate the safety of veterinary drug residues in food: clopidol, imidacloprid and fumagillin. Annexed to this report is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations on these drugs discussed at the ninety-eighth meeting, including acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs), estimated dietary exposure and proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs). Summaries are also provided for general considerations around the matters of interest arising from previous sessions of the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods (CCRVDF), update of Guidance for the Safety Evaluation of Residues of Veterinary Drugs with incomplete data packages, and release of JECFA Toolbox for Veterinary Drug Residues Risk Assessment.This volume and others in the WHO Technical Report Series contain infrmation that is useful to those who produce and use veterinary drugs, and those involved with controlling contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities.
