SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Codex Alimentarius (Codex) was
established in 1963 by two United
Nations organizations, the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the
World Health Organization (WHO).
Through adoption of food standards,
codes of practice, and other guidelines
developed by its committees, and by
promoting their adoption and
implementation by governments, Codex
seeks to protect the health of consumers
and ensure fair practices in the food
trade.
The CCRVDF is responsible for
determining priorities for the
consideration of residues of veterinary
drugs in foods, recommending
maximum levels of such substances;
developing codes of practice as may be
required, and considering methods of
sampling and analysis for the
determination of veterinary drug
residues in foods.
The Committee is hosted by the
United States of America.
