General Principles for Evaluating the Human Food Safety of New Animal Drugs Used in Food-Producing Animals; Guidance for Industry; Availability

Короткий зміст

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry (GFI) #3 entitled "General Principles for Evaluating the Human Food Safety of New Animal Drugs Used in Food-Producing Animals." This guidance describes the type of information that the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) recommends sponsors provide to address the human food safety of new animal drugs used in food-producing animals. The human food safety evaluation of new animal drugs used in food-producing animals helps ensure that food derived from treated animals is safe for human consumption. CVM developed this guidance to inform sponsors of the scientific data and/or information that may provide an acceptable basis to determine that the residue of a new animal drug in or on food, when consumed, presents a reasonable certainty of no harm to humans.
