Toxicological Evaluation of Certain Veterinary Drug Residues in Food

This volume contain toxicological monographs prepared at the 66th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) which met in Rome, Italy in February 2006. These summarise data on two veterinary drug residues evaluated by the Committee, the antimicrobial agents colistin and erythromycin. For the third antimicrobial agent, tylosin, a toxicological monograph has not been prepared, as no data were submitted, and a brief review of the tocicological information available in the scientific peer-reviewed literature did not allow an evaluation of the compound.
