How does VDD make informed decisions about the safety of food from animals treated with veterinary drugs?
Scientific debate is welcomed and encouraged. Science is complex – the generation of knowledge has profound value. In its application, it has the potential to inform and refine policies, regulations and practices. As in any other discipline, scientists come from a variety of training, backgrounds and expertise. It is not surprising then, that their ideas and opinions can be sometimes varied. Decisions are made that protect the public by applying the best interpretation of available scientific evidence. Consultation, scientific review and study, peer review, and inspection and compliance procedures are all part of this decision-making process.
