The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry (GFI) #232 entitled "Studies to Evaluate the Safety of Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Human Food: General Approach to Establish an Acute Reference Dose (ARfD)" (VICH GL54). This draft guidance has been developed for veterinary use by the International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products (VICH). This draft VICH guidance document is intended to address the nature and types of data that can be useful in determining an ARfD for residues of veterinary drugs, the studies that may generate such data, and how the ARfD may be calculated based on these data.
