Book (stand-alone)Provision of Scientific Advice to Codex and Member Countries
Joint FAO/WHO Workshop on the Provision of Scientific Advice to Codex and Member Countries (2004 Geneva, Switzerland)
2004FAO and WHO have a long history of providing scientific advice to the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its subsidiary bodies and to Member Countries. A Joint FAO/WHO Workshop was held to review and provide guidance to the two organizations on additional ways to improve the quality, quantity and timeliness of the scientific advice provided. The Workshop was part of a broader consultative process of which the first stage had been an e-forum conducted end-2003. The Workshop focused on th e principles, management and procedures associated with the provision of scientific advice within the FAO/WHO system. The main components of this work currently include JECFA, JMPR, JEMRA, and ad hoc expert consultations (whether scheduled or held in situations of emergency). Recognizing that the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its subsidiary bodies are important clients of FAO/WHO scientific advice, and taking account of the recommendations of the Codex Evaluation, the Workshop also consid ered the linkages and interaction between FAO, WHO and Codex where they have an impact on the provision of scientific advice. -
ProjectSupporting the Codex Alimentarius Commission in Setting Global Food Safety Standrds - GCP/GLO/798/CAN 2021

No results found.The development of international food safety standards by Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) is an important global public good and core to the mission of both FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO). Their joint Food Safety Scientific Advice Programme is an essential pillar of the work of the CAC. Part of this programme includes hosting the three joint secretariats, namely the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA), and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Nutrition (JEMNU). Given the different mandates and areas of specialization of FAO and WHO, their contributions to the joint programme are complementary in nature, and the ability to respond promptly and adequately to requests for scientific advice from the CAC depends on the availability of adequate resources in the programmes of both organizations. Against this background, the objective of the project was to support the joint FAO/WHO scientific advice programme , in order to assist the CAC in formulating health protective and trade inclusive food safety measures. -
Book (stand-alone)Residue Evaluation of Certain Veterinary Drugs. Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). 75th Meeting. FAO JECFA Monographs 12 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The monographs in this volume of the FAO JECFA Monographs on the residues of, statements on, or other parameters of the veterinary drugs on the agenda were prepared by the invited experts for the Seventy-fifth Meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Rome, Italy, 7–17-November 2011. This was the nineteenth meeting of JECFA convened specifically to consider residues of veterinary drugs in food-producing animal species. The Committee had evaluated residues o f veterinary drugs at its 12th, 26th, 27th, 32nd, 34th, 36th, 38th, 40th,42nd, 43rd, 45th, 47th, 48th, 50th, 52nd, 54th, 58th, 60th, 62nd, 66th and 70th meetings (JECFA, various dates 1969–2010). 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 recommend maximum residue limits (MRLs) for substances on the agenda when they are administered to food-producing an imals in accordance with good veterinary practice in the use of veterinary drugs. The enclosed monographs provided the scientific basis for the recommendations of MRLs. There is an important feature to bring to the attention of readers. This volume of the FAO JECFA Monographs is the third in a new format for the presentation of monographs from meetings of the Committee specifically devoted to residues of specific veterinary drugs in food. It was also the seventh meeting of JECFA subsequent to th e completion of the workshop to update the principles and methods of risk assessment for MRLs for pesticides and veterinary drugs, held jointly by FAO/RIVM/WHO, in Bilthoven, The Netherlands, 7– 11 November 2005. The outcomes of this workshop are incorporated in the Environmental Health Criteria, No. 240, publication Principles and methods for the risk assessment of chemicals in food, WHO, 2009. Specifically, the Committee continued to implement some of the more significant recommendations in th e workshop report, including the concept of using median residue values to estimate daily intakes of residues of veterinary drugs in food for chronic exposure intake estimates.
