VICH Consultation relating to demonstrating the safety of residues in food

VICH consultation until 31 July 2024 on guidelines relating to the technical requirements for demonstrating the safety of residues of veterinary drugs in food.

As an Observer Member of VICH (the International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products), we are inviting comments through a public consultation on a draft guideline relating to the technical requirements for studies to evaluate the reproductive safety of residues of veterinary drugs in human food.

The proposed draft document is published on the VICH website.

The consultation is open until 31 July 2024.

Comments should be relevant to this specific guideline, and can either be general on the approach outlined or comments on the actual text of the guideline.

Send your comments to vichcomments@vmd.gov.uk and we will compile and submit all comments to the relevant VICH expert working group for consideration.

We are not able to respond to questions or comments directly.
