The joint food and agriculture organization of the united nations/world health organization expert committee on food additives and its role in the evaluation of the safety of veterinary drug residues in foods
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2005, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the evaluation of food additives at the international level through the establishment of an expert committee or committees. These committees evaluated the safety of food additives present as residues resulting from the use of pesticides or veterinary pharmaceuticals. The results of these meetings include international harmonization on acceptable daily intake of these compounds and the maximum residue limit that is permitted to be present within any food of animal or plant origin. The decisions rendered by these committees provide a key element in the elimination of international trade barriers associated with products intended for human consumption.
