摘要

With reference to the request of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) at its thirty-second session (Rome, Italy 29 June - 4 July 2009, ALINORM 09/32/REP) to undertake a review of new data on residues of ractopamine in pig tissues, a summary of which was submitted to the eighteenth session of the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food by the People's Republic of China, the Secretariat of JECFA at FAO and WHO requested the submission of these data and any other pertinent informationrelated to depletion of residues of ractopamine in pig tissues. The Call for data was published on the JECFA websites 4 November 2009 with a deadline 15 December 2009 for submission of the full studies referred to by the People's Republic of China. Three study reports were submitted to FAO by the Codex contact point of the People's Republic of China on 20 December 2009. In addition, the full dossier previously submitted to the JECFA Secretariat for the evaluation of ractopamine was made available again by the sponsor of this veterinary drug. The People's Republic of China submitted one additional report of an experimental study on ractopamine residues in pig tissues on 13 May 2010 and asked the JECFA Secretariat to consider the data in that report.
