The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Addihves (JECFA) is an international expert scientihc committee that is administered jointly by FAO and WHO. It has been meeting regularly since 1956, inihally to evaluate the safety of food addihves. Its work now also includes the evaluation of contaminants, naturally occurring toxicants, and residues of veterinary drugs in food. These evaluations are collected in a report published after each JECFA meeting (Section 3.6.1.3) (JECFA 2006). 

Toxicological evaluations of food additives and of contaminants, naturally occurring toxicants and residues of veterinary drugs in food produced by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and of pesticide residues in food by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) are used by the Codex Alimentarius Commission and national governments to set international food standards and safe levels for protection of the consumer. 

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) was established in 1955 to consider chemical, toxicological, and other aspects of contaminants and residues of veterinary drugs in foods for human consumption. The Codex Committee on Food Additives and Contaminants and the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Dmgs in Foods identify food additives, contaminants, and veterinary drug residues that should receive priority evaluation and refer them to JECFA for assessment before incorporating them into Codex standards. 

For group A substances (no PL established), CCa and CCp are comparable with LOD and LOQ, respectively, as their concentrations correspond to measured signals laying times above the blank signal. For substances having a PL (group B), CCa and CCp are not related to LOD and LOQ but are expressed in relation to this PL. It is important to note that these terms apply specifically for inspection of animals and fresh meat for the presence of residues of veterinary drugs and specific contaminants and are therefore different from LOD and LOQ [82,99-102].
