Overview
This summary report extracts the results of the 2025 WHO Core Assessment Group Meeting on Pesticide Residues to make them accessible to interested parties at an early date. The purpose of the meeting was to advance preparations for the next Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) by conducting toxicological evaluations aligned, to the extent possible, with the priorities outlined in the 55th session of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). To facilitate timely reporting to the 57th session of the CCPR, the conclusions of this Meeting will be published as a standalone report.
The WHO Meeting evaluated 15 pesticides, including seven new compounds and three compounds that were re-evaluated within the periodic review programme of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), for toxicity.
Several metabolites were evaluated for potential inclusion in the residue definition for risk assessment. Information on these metabolites will be made available in the 2025 WHO Meeting report.
