Reports and Publications

A summary is published within a few weeks of the meeting, which sets out the main conclusions, including details of the ADIs and MRLs set by the committee. This summary is distributed in printed form and is available on the FAO and WHO web sites.

The detailed conclusions of JECFA meetings are set out in reports published in the WHO Technical Report Series. These reflect the agreed view of the Committee as a whole and describe the basis for the conclusions. In the very rare event in which some members cannot accept all of the conclusions, a minority report may be included as an annex.

Toxicological and intake monographs are published after the meetings in the WHO Food Additive Series (FAS). These summarise the data used in the Committee’s risk assessments and provide full references to the relevant literature. The monographs that have been published are available from INCHEM, information on which is available at the WHO web site. Specifications for the identity and purity of food additives developed at JECFA meetings are published in the Compendium of Food Additive Specifications in the FAO JECFA Monographs series. Monographs on veterinary drug residues, which summarise the data used for recommending MRLs, are also published in the FAO JECFA Monographs series from the 66th meeting onwards. Those from previous meetings were published in the FAO Food and Nutrition Paper series No. 41. Documents are available online from the Archive.
