This
report presents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHO Expert
Committee convened to evaluate the safety of residues of
certain veterinary drugs in foods and to recommend maximum
levels for such residues in food. The first part of the
report considers standards for the performance of studies,
residues at the injection site, and several initiatives
to promote transparency of the process for setting Maximum
Residue Limits (MRLs). A summary follows of the Committee's
evaluations of toxicological and residue data on a variety
of veterinary drugs: two anthelminthic agents (moxidectin
and tiabendazole), eight antimicrobial agents (ceftiofur,
danofloxacin, dihydrostreptomycin, streptomycin, enrofloxacin,
flumequine, gentamicin and spiramycin), one glucocorticosteroid
(dexamethasone), and two insecticides (cyfluthrin and fluazuron).
Annexed to the report are a summary of the Committee's recommendations
on these drugs, including Acceptable Daily Intakes and MRL's
and further toxicological studies and other information
required.
