This volume contain toxicological monographs prepared at the 66th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) which met in Rome, Italy in February 2006. These summarise data on two veterinary drug residues evaluated by the Committee, the antimicrobial agents colistin and erythromycin. For the third antimicrobial agent, tylosin, a toxicological monograph has not been prepared, as no data were submitted, and a brief review of the tocicological information available in the scientific peer-reviewed literature did not allow an evaluation of the compound.

The report contains the monographs that were prepared at the eighty-eighth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which took place at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome on 22–31 October 2019. [Author] These monographs summarize the data on the safety of residues in food of selected veterinary drugs reviewed by the JECFA. [Author]

The monographs contained in this volume were prepared at the eighty-eighth meeting of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)/World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Veterinary drugs (JECFA), which met at WHO headquarters in Rome, Italy, 22–31 October 2019. These monographs summarize the data on selected veterinary drugs reviewed by the Committee.

This volume contains monographs prepared at the eighty-fifth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met in Geneva, Switzerland, from 17 to 26 October 2017. [Author] The toxicological monographs in this volume summarize data on the veterinary drug residues that were evaluated toxicologically by the Committee: amoxicillin, ampicillin, ethion, flumethrin, halquinol and lufenuron. [Author] Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations on these and other drugs discussed at the eighty-fifth meeting, including acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs) and proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs). [Author] 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.

The monographs in this volume summarize data on the veterinary drug residues that were evaluated toxicologically by the Committee, which included three antimicrobial agents (cefuroxime, flumequine and pirlimycin), two insecticides (cyhalothrin, and cypermethrin and alpha-cypermethrin) and one production aid (ractopamine). The Committee also evaluated the safety of low levels of the antimicrobial agent chloramphenicol in animal products. 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 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.

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), including harmonization of residue definition, use of scientific literature in risk assessment, toxicological profiling of compounds and less-than-lifetime dietary exposure assessment, combined exposure to multiple chemicals, and microbiological effects on the safety evaluation of veterinary drug residues in food. Summaries follow the Committee’s evaluations of toxicological and residue data on a variety of veterinary drugs: three insecticides (diflubenzuron, ethion and flumethrin), three antimicrobials (fosfomycin, halquinol and ivermectin) and one antiparasitic agent (selamectin). Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations on these drugs, including acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and proposed MRLs.
