title: Evaluation of certain veterinary drug residues in food.
abstract: The first part of the report presents the views of the Committee on assessment of carcinogenic risk, quality of data, marker residues, and the Joint FAO/WHO Project to update the principles and methods for the risk assessment of chemicals in food. Summaries follow of the Committee's evaluations of toxicological and residue data on a variety of veterinary drugs: two antimicrobial agents (neomycin and flumequine), an antiprotozoal agent (imidocarb), three insecticides (deltamethrin, dicyclanil, and trichlorfon) and one production aid (carbadox). Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee's recommendations on these drugs, including Acceptable Daily Intakes and Maximum Residue Limits. Corrigenda to WHO Technical Report Series 911: Evaluation of certain veterinary drug residues in food, 2002, are also included.
