Resumen
Descripción
At its 56th session, the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), requested additional information from JMPR on developments in dietary exposure methodologies, citing concerns about transparency, conservativeness, and dissenting opinions. In response, FAO and WHO plan to convene an ad hoc expert meeting to independently review the methodology. The purpose of this ad hoc expert meeting is to define the exposure durations to be modelled to address less-than-lifetime toxicological effects, to review and compare the methodologies currently available to address those exposure durations, other relevant approaches, and make recommendations to FAO and WHO and address concerns raised in CCPR56.The continued application and refinement of these methodologies are essential to ensure that dietary risk assessments remain scientifically sound, robust, and transparent. FAO and WHO therefore call for qualified experts to contribute to forthcoming work on dietary exposure assessment of pesticide residues in food.
