JOINT MEETING ON PESTICIDE RESIDUES (JMPR)

A favorable evaluation by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) is critical to international acceptance of any pesticide that might leave residues in food and therefore require a CODEX listing. TSG has extensive expertise and experience in representing industry for both chemistry and toxicology evaluations, and can assist with all aspects of the JMPR and CODEX processes.

With knowledge of JMPR and CODEX requirements and experience in JMPR and CODEX processes, TSG provides comprehensive services to obtain or maintain necessary approvals, so that antimicrobial, biochemical, microbial, and conventional pesticides can be sold in international markets.

Senior scientists at TSG can provide the following assistance:

  • Explain processes and key issues associated with a JMPR evaluation.
  • Prepare a complete compilation of studies and other information necessary for the evaluation by the WHO and FAO panels, and organize the compilation in accordance with panel requirements.
  • Prepare a dossier summarizing the available toxicology or residue data, again, in accordance with panel requirements.
  • Interact with panelists during pre-hearing meetings and discussions, provide requested materials, and respond to concerns as appropriate.
  • Appear before FAO and WHO panels to provide representation, answer questions, and address issues.
  • Provide technical and procedural advice during subsequent steps in the CODEX process.

TSG scientists have assisted several companies in successfully navigating JMPR and CODEX processes. In addition to our extensive experience in working with FAO and WHO secretariats and Panels on behalf of industry, our knowledge and understanding of the processes have been strengthened by serving as members of the JMPR and other international expert panels.
