CALL FOR EXPERTS
ON CARRY-OVER FROM FEED TO FOOD OF
UNAVOIDABLE AND UNINTENDED RESIDUES OF
APPROVED VETERINARY DRUGS
(for FAO/WHO Expert Consultation Meeting – Rome, Italy – 7 to 11 January 2019)
Deadline: 15 September 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 qualified scientists and experts willing to serve in an FAO/WHO expert consultation meeting on carry-over from feed to food of unavoidable and unintended residues of approved veterinary drugs that will take place in Rome from 7 to 11 January 2019 to guide the elaboration of appropriate Codex texts and advise FAO, WHO and their Member States.
Interested applicants should submit their curriculum vitae in English, including a description of their education, work experience, two personal references that have knowledge of their professional qualifications and a list of peer reviewed publications relevant to the topics above by 15 September 2018 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 see the complete information and instructions to apply in the attached document. Kindly, forward this message through your networks.
Thank you.
