The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the evaluation of food additives at the international level through the establishment of an expert committee or committees. These committees evaluated the safety of food additives present as residues resulting from the use of pesticides or veterinary pharmaceuticals. The results of these meetings include international harmonization on acceptable daily intake of these compounds and the maximum residue limit that is permitted to be present within any food of animal or plant origin. The decisions rendered by these committees provide a key element in the elimination of international trade barriers associated with products intended for human consumption.
联合国粮食及农业组织（粮农组织）和世界卫生组织（世卫组织）建议通过设立一个或多个专家委员会在国际层面评估食品添加剂。这些委员会评估了因使用农药或兽药而作为残留存在的食品添加剂的安全性。这些会议的结果包括在这些化合物的每日允许摄入量以及动植物源性食品中允许存在的最大残留限量方面实现国际协调。这些委员会做出的决定是消除与供人类消费的产品相关的国际贸易壁垒的关键因素。
