Abstract

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) have both been meeting regularly for many years. Since the mid-1950s, when the first JECFA meeting was held [1], the Committee has evaluated more than 700 different substances, primarily food additives, but also contaminants and, recently, veterinary drugs. JMPR first met in 1963 [2], and since then approximately 200 pesticides have been evaluated.
