Public consultation: Draft report on the development of a harmonised approach to exposure assessment methodologies for residues from veterinary medicinal products, feed additives and pesticides in food of animal origin

In 2020, the European Commission (EC) requested EMA and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for advice for the development of a harmonised approach on exposure assessment methodologies for residues from veterinary medicinal products (EMA), feed additives and pesticides in food of animal origin (EFSA). This work was undertaken under the EC mandate by a working group composed of CVMP experts, EFSA experts, specialists with expertise from the Joint FAO / WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), and an European Chemical Agency (ECHA) observer. The draft report compares available models of consumer exposure and makes recommendation on a harmonised approach to be used by EMA and EFSA for the assessment of exposure to residues of veterinary medicines, feed additives and pesticides in food of animal origin.
