RESIDUES OF VETERINARY DRUGS IN HONEY AND POSSIBLE APPROACHES TO DERIVE MRLS FOR THIS COMMODITY

摘要

The 66th meeting of the Committee discussed the report of the 2005 meeting of the Joint FAO/RIVM/WHO workshop "Updating the Principles and Methods of Risk Assessment: Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for Pesticides and Veterinary Drugs" (FAO/WHO, 2005).With regard to the workshop recommendation on honey, that JECFA should investigate a specific approach for MRLs in honey and prepare a paper to consider if a separate approach for honey is warranted, the 66th meeting of the Committee agreed that a papershould be prepared for consideration at the next meeting of the Committee devoted to residues of veterinary drugs in food. The paper should consider the relevant scientific issues specific to honey, and accordingly, develop draft recommendations for consideration by the Committee and by CCRVDF. It should be noted that the 52nd meeting of the Committee (FAO/WHO, 2000) first considered the subject and requested that the 12th Session of the CCRVDF comment on the matter. The report of the 12th Session of the CCRVDF does not include any comments on the matter.
