Publisher Description:
This volume contains monographs prepared at the seventy-eighth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met in Geneva, Switzerland, from 5 to 14 November 2013.

The toxicological monographs in this volume summarize data on the veterinary drug residues that were evaluated toxicologically by the Committee: gentian violet, lasalocid sodium, recombinant bovine somatotropins and zilpaterol hydrochloride. Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee's recommendations on these and other drugs discussed at the seventy-eighth meeting, including acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs).

This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives Series contain information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives and veterinary drugs and those involved with controlling contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities.
