CALL FOR STAKEHOLDERS
ON CARRY-OVER FROM FEED TO FOOD OF
UNAVOIDABLE AND UNINTENDED RESIDUES OF
APPROVED VETERINARY DRUGS
(for FAO/WHO Stakeholder Meeting – Rome, Italy - 7 January 2019)
Deadline: 15 November 2018

The 23rd Codex Committee on Residue of Veterinary Drugs in Food has requested FAO and WHO to provide scientific advice to address the issue of unintended presence of residues of approved veterinary drugs in food of animal origin resulting from carry-over of veterinary drugs in feed.

Even under circumstances where all relevant good practices (e.g. GAP, GMP, etc.) had been fully implemented and followed in feed manufacturing facilities, an unintended and unavoidable presence of low levels of certain veterinary drugs in feed lots that follow the production of medicated feed can be observed. To evaluate any potential consequences for food safety from such feed, it is critical to determine whether such low-level presence of residues in food associated with unavoidable and unintended carry-over in feed: (i) would constitute a threat to human health; and (ii) would impact negatively on trade. In addition, potential risk management measures should be developed to mitigate any risk as necessary.

This information will be used to evaluate the need for any new work or revision of Codex Code of Practise on Good Animal Feeding or on the development of specific guidance or capacity development assistance to countries for implementing the Code.

The objective of this call is to identify relevant stakeholder organizations or institutions to participate in an FAO/WHO stakeholder meeting on carry-over from feed to food of unavoidable and unintended residues of approved veterinary drugs that will take place in Rome on 7 January 2019 to guide the elaboration of appropriate Codex texts and advise FAO, WHO and their Member States.

Stakeholders interested to participate in the meeting should express their interest by 15 November to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> , [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>  Please follow the instructions detailed in the attached document.
