The Codex Alimentarius Commission
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 Terms of Reference of the Codex
Committee on Pesticide Residues
(CCPR) are:
(a) to establish maximum limits for
pesticide residues in specific food items
or in groups of food;
(b) to establish maximum limits for
pesticide residues in certain animal
feeding stuffs moving in international
trade where this is justified for reasons
of protection of human health;
(c) to prepare priority lists of
pesticides for evaluation by the Joint
FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide
Residues (JMPR);
(d) to consider methods of sampling
and analysis for the determination of
pesticide residues in food and feed;
(e) to consider other matters in
relation to the safety of food and feed
containing pesticide residues; and,
(f) to establish maximum limits for
environmental and industrial
contaminants showing chemical or
other similarity to pesticides, in specific
food items or groups of food.
The CCPR is hosted by China. The
