Summary of the evaluation After consideration of all available data, including additional residue information provided to the Committee and considering that:
- No new information had been provided in response to requests for data on the identification and toxicity of the unidentified residues of cefuroxime in milk and pid=63155;
- The Committee was unable to adequately evaluate cefuroxime metabolism or degradation in milk and pid=63155; and
- The radiolabelled-residue depletion study in cows can no longer be used to determine the relationship between residues of parent compound, other antimicrobial active residues and total residues of cefuroxime.
The present Committee concluded that it could not extend the temporary ADI or MRLs established at the fifty-eighth meeting. Therefore, the temporary ADI and MRLs for cefuroxime in milk were withdrawn.
