Veterinary drugs are used in farms for the health and growth of animals: cattle, poultry, fish, shrimp, bees, etc .

Antibiotic residues can be found in foodstuffs (meat, fish, milk, eggs and honey) obtained from these treated animals as a result of faulty practices such as non-compliance with the expectation or abuse of growth promoters.

Due to the potentially carcinogenic and toxic properties of antibiotic residues and their allergic potential, maximum residue limits (MRLs) have been set for pharmacologically active substances (Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 and its successive amendments) .

In the final food product, the molecule is either prohibited with zero tolerance or permitted up to a defined level, depending on its nature and destination.

• Meat products (muscle)
• Egg products (eggs...)
• Dairy products (milk...)
• Aquaculture products (fish meat, etc.)
