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)
• Priciples of extrapolation
• Setting of MRLs
