HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
committees in the area of animal feed/ feed additives and
if residues of feed additives would be considered as
contaminants. It was mentioned that the amendments
proposed in Annex 1 could possibly apply to contaminants
but not to food additives.
The Secretariat clarified that there was a clear definition of
“food additive” in the Procedural Manual by which the
Committee was bound, and that the definition of
“veterinary drugs” was relatively broad to encompass a
wide range of substances applied or administered to food
producing animals. The Committee further noted that the
terms of reference of the Committee on Contaminants in
Foods (CCCF) included contaminants in food and feed,
and that the mandate of the newly established Task Force
on Animal Feeding was limited to the development of
guidelines on the application of risk assessment
methodologies to the various types of hazards related to
contaminants/ residues in feed ingredients and the
establishment of a prioritized list of such hazards.
The Secretariat recalled that the Committee on General
Principles (CCGP) had forwarded the review of the risk
analysis policies of Codex committees (CL 2010/1-GP) to
the committees concerned in the context of completing
Activity 2.1 (Review the consistency of risk analysis
principles elaborated by the relevant Codex Committees)
of the Strategic Plan. The Secretariat also recalled that it
was for the Committee to decide how to undertake Activity
2.2 (Review risk analysis policies developed by relevant
Codex committees) of the Strategic Plan with target year
2013.
Malaysia Position:
Malaysia is of the view that the Risk Analysis
Principles Applied by CCFA and CCCF should be
reviewed for consistency with the structure of the
COMMITTEE'S DECISION
accordance with the needs of each
committee. Therefore, the Committee
requested that the Codex Secretariat
prepare draft Risk analysis principles
applied by the CCFA, based on the
current Codex Committee on Food
Additives and the Codex Committee on
Contaminants in Foods, by deleting any
reference to CCCF, for consideration at
the next session.
