Residues & Contaminants

Residues and Contaminants

Veterinary drugs are substances used to treat and prevent disease in animals and thus have the potential to enter the food chain through their occurrence as residues in food.Animals may also be exposed to a range of other chemicals such as chemical contaminants. Consumers can potentially be exposed to residues via consumption of food from animals treated with veterinary medicines or exposed to chemical contaminants.This includes meat and meat products derived from the main food as well as farmed fish, milk, eggs, honey and game.

In order to meet the strict regulations in place around the world regarding prohibited Contaminants and Residues limits, Elabscience® provides high-quality testing kits to detect veterinary residues and food contaminants for researchers and farmers, including ELISA kits and rapid test kits (Lateral Flow Assay Kit).

Potential sources of contamination in the consumable food

KEY FACTS

1.Food systems play an important role in the development and spread of AMR(Antimicrobial resistance).

2.The presence of AMR microorganisms in agricultural production systems and food chains is a potential route of exposure for everyone.

3.Good hygiene practices in agriculture, fundamental in achieving food safety, are also key in addressing AMR.

4.Surveillance for AMR and antimicrobial use in primary food production environments is crucial to obtain data necessary fo risk assessment and risk management.
