A joint committee of the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, abbreviated JMPR, that evaluates the safety of pesticide residues in food. Its toxicology experts review studies on the long-term health effects of pesticides to establish acceptable daily intakes, while residue chemists assess field trial data to recommend maximum residue limits for specific crops. These recommendations feed into Codex Alimentarius standards, which guide international trade and national regulation. Meeting annually, the JMPR’s independent scientific assessments help ensure that approved pesticide uses leave residues at levels safe for consumers, including vulnerable groups such as children.
