The non-compliance rate for 2017 stands at 0.35%, a rate comparable to the previous 10 years (0.25% &#8211; 0.37%).<\/p>\n<p>The presence of unauthorised substances and veterinary drug residues in food is a risk factor for public health.<\/p>\n<p>Three main European texts govern the rules applicable to veterinary residues and prohibited substances:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regulation (EU) No 37\/2010 sets maximum limits for veterinary drug residues in food-producing animals and animal products.<\/li>\n<li>Regulation No 396\/2005 sets maximum residue levels for pesticides present in food and feed of plant and animal origin.<\/li>\n<li>Directive 96\/23\/EC establishes measures for monitoring certain substances and their residues, mainly veterinary drugs, in live animals and their products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The products analysed in 2017 were as follows: cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, horses, poultry, rabbit, farmed game, wild game, aquaculture, milk, eggs and honey.<\/p>\n<p>For group A:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No non-compliant samples were reported for <strong>stilbenes and their derivatives (A1)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>For <strong>anti-thyroid agents (A2)<\/strong>, 0.42% of samples were non-compliant for thiouracil (probably due to a diet rich in cruciferous plants).<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>steroids (A3)<\/strong> group, non-compliant samples (all for anabolic steroids) were found in cattle (0.28%), pigs (0.11%) and sheep and goats (5.77%).<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>resorcylic acid lactones (A4)<\/strong> group, 0.17% of samples were non-compliant for zeranol and its derivatives. Non-compliant samples were found in cattle (0.29%), sheep and goats (1.23%) and horses (0.97%)<\/li>\n<li>Regarding <strong>beta-agonists (A5)<\/strong>, there were 0.02% non-compliant samples in total, all reported for cattle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prohibited substances (A6)<\/strong> were found in 0.03% of samples. The substances identified were chloramphenicol, nitroimidazoles and nitrofurans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For group B:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For <strong>antibacterials (B1)<\/strong>, 0.26% of samples were non-compliant. The highest frequency of non-compliant samples for antibacterials was observed in honey (0.83%)<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>B2 (other veterinary drugs)<\/strong> group, the highest proportion of non-compliant samples was found for NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) (0.27%). Non-compliant samples were reported for the various species as follows: 0.05% for cattle, 0.06% for sheep and goats, 0.66% for horses, 0.06% for pigs and 0.96% for milk.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>B3 (other substances and environmental contaminants)<\/strong> group, cadmium, lead, mercury and copper showed the highest overall percentage of non-compliant samples (4.69%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that our laboratory has developed an innovative method for the analysis of drug residues covering a number of chemical families unmatched in France.<\/p>\n<p>The Phytocontrol laboratory is thus able to detect and quantify a wide range of drug residues thanks to an ultra-high-performance HPLC-QTOF technique, complemented by LC-MS\/MS, in a package that also includes chloramphenicol.<\/p>\n<p>For any technical, pricing or regulatory information, please contact us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EFSA has published its report on 2017 results of monitoring of veterinary drug residues and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regulatory-watch"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
