🇲🇽 Mexico Nitrosamine Guide published today

It would be interesting to understand the reasoning (and procedural impact) of COFEPRIS in adopting principles like CPCA, EAT, in vivo mutagenicity testing indirectly via Appendix 2 but not really in the key guidance. Can they evaluate AIs with no international publication precedent (linked to the NDSRI structure and/or value proposed) or do they only endorse already published AIs? (And if this has a link with defaulting to 18 ng/day.)

Would also like to hear the perspective on international recognition from other panelists like ISP Chile having no nitrosamine guidance/regulation beyond ranitidine and sartans and more broadly how these non-NITWG members look at NITWG.

Thank you for sharing a summary of the panel output later this month.

Hi Naiffer, thanks for bringing up this with the Community - unique opportunity indeed :slight_smile:

For Mexico: how is the Authority planning to implement, considering key factors as the listed by @Diego_HM and @ccdw some days ago in this “conversation line”, from which I see as critical the requirement for local personnel/lab to perform activities, unknown nitrosamines “falling by default” into 18 ng/day and the acceptability of EAT and in-vivo mutagenicity data

For other NRAs would be good to “explore” if there is any potential upcoming update/guidance already planned or “in the table as idea” to be issued by their side

Will be of very much interest any output you could share after the Conference.

Warmest regards from Germany,
Estefy
