Introduction into Dietary Safety

Your benefit

The Web-seminar provides a general overview about the residue section and requirements.

Part 1: Introduction into residues and metabolism 

Relevant study types and required endpoints

• Storage stability of residues
• Metabolism in plants & farm animals
• Residue trials
• Livestock feeding studies
• Effects of processing
• Residues in rotational crops
• Proposed residue definition and maximum residue limits (MRLs)
• Proposed safety intervals
• Estimation of exposure through diet & other sources
• Other/special studies: Residue levels in pollen and bee products

Part 2: Residue relevant guidelines

• Residue relevant guidelines (e.g. residue definition)
• Principles of extrapolation
• Setting of MRLs

If you already have specific questions about this topic, please feel free to send them to us up to two weeks in advance and we will try our best to address them in the web-seminar.
