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). 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.

The Ninety-seventh report of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, Rome, 31 October–9 November 2023. The report represents JECFA evaluation of technical, toxicological and epidemiological data, including the occurrence of and dietary exposure to the food additive titanium dioxide. The report also summaries JECFA assessment of the dietary exposure to three groups of flavouring agents (aliphatic primary alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, acetals and esters containing additional oxygenated functional groups; linear and branched-chain aliphatic, unsaturated and unconjugated alcohols, aldehydes, acids and related esters; and saturated aliphatic acyclic linear primary alcohols, aldehydes and acids).

The Ninety-sixth meeting of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)/World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), Geneva, 27 June to 6 July 2023. The report represents JECFA evaluations of technical, toxicological and epidemiological data, including the occurrence of and dietary exposure to the food additive aspartame. The report also summaries JECFA assessment of the dietary exposure to two groups of flavouring agents (esters of aliphatic acyclic primary alcohols with branched-chain aliphatic acyclic acids and hydroxy- and alkoxy-substituted benzyl derivatives) and the revised specifications for eight flavouring agents.

This volume of FAO JECFA Monographs contains residue evaluation of certain veterinary drugs prepared at the 98th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held from 20 to 29 February 2024. This JECFA meeting was convened specifically to consider residues of veterinary drugs in food-producing animal species. The tasks for the Committee were to further elaborate principles for evaluating the safety of residues of veterinary drugs in food and for establishing acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and/or acute reference doses (ARfDs), and to recommend maximum residue limits (MRLs) for substances when they are administered to food-producing animals in accordance with good veterinary practice (GVP) in the use of veterinary drugs. The present volume contains monographs on the evaluations of residue data of substances scheduled for evaluation at the request of the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food. A summary of the recommendations on compounds is also presented in this report. The enclosed monographs provided the scientific basis for the recommendations of MRLs.
