Summary of the evaluation The Committee was unable to establish an ADI for chloramphenicol both because of the lack of the information needed to assess its carcinogenicity and effects on reproduction, and because the compound was genotoxic in a number of in vitro and in vivo test systems.
The Committee was unable to assign MRLs for chloramphenicol primarily because no ADI was allocated. In addition, insufficient information was available to identify a suitable marker residue, particularly in cattle and pigs, for which the radio-depletion studies were considered inadequate.
