Residue Evaluation of Certain Veterinary Drugs: Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), 81st meeting 2015

This volume of FAO JECFA Monographs contains residue evaluation of certain veterinary drugs prepared at the 81st Meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Rome, Italy, 17–26 November 2015. This JECFA meeting was convened specifically to consider residues of veterinary drugs in food-producing animal species, 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 on the agenda when they are administered to food-producing animals in accordance with good veterinary practice in the use of veterinary drugs. The monographs contained therein provide the scientific basis for the recommendations of MRLs.
