EFSA has published its report on 2017<\/a> results from the monitoring of veterinary medicinal product residues and other substances in live animals and animal products.<\/p>\n

A total of 708 880 samples were checked by 28 Member States. The non-compliance rate for 2017 was 0.35%, comparable to the previous 10 years (0.25% – 0.37%).<\/p>\n

The presence of unauthorised substances and residues of veterinary medicinal products in food is a risk factor for public health.<\/p>\n

Three main European texts govern the rules applicable to veterinary residues and prohibited substances:
\n– Regulation (EU) No 37\/2010establishes\u00a0 maximum\u00a0 limits\u00a0 for residues\u00a0 of\u00a0 veterinary\u00a0 medicinal\u00a0 products\u00a0 in\u00a0 food-producing\u00a0 animals\u00a0 and\u00a0 animal\u00a0 products.
\n– Regulation No 396\/2005 sets maximum residue limits for pesticides in food and feed of plant and animal origin.
\n– Directive 96\/23\/EC lays down measures to monitor certain substances and their residues, mainly veterinary medicinal products, in live animals and animals products.<\/p>\n

The products analysed in 2017 are as follows: bovines, pigs, sheep and goats, horses, poultry, rabbits, farmed game, wild game, aquaculture, milk, eggs and honey.<\/p>\n

For group A:
\n– No\u00a0 non-compliant\u00a0 samples\u00a0 were\u00a0 reported\u00a0 for\u00a0 stilbenes\u00a0 and\u00a0 derivatives\u00a0 (A1).
\n– For antithyroid agents (A2), there were 0.42% non-compliant samples, all for thiouracil, most likely due to feeding diets rich in cruciferous plants.
\n– In the group of steroids (A3), non-compliant samples (all for anabolic steroids) were found in bovines (0.28%), pigs (0.11%) and sheep and goats (5.77 %). For corticosteroids,\u00a0\u00a0 non-compliant\u00a0\u00a0 results\u00a0\u00a0 for\u00a0\u00a0 authorised\u00a0\u00a0 substances\u00a0\u00a0 were\u00a0\u00a0 reported\u00a0\u00a0 under\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018other pharmacologically active substances\u2019 (B2f).
\n– In the group of resorcylic acid lactones (A4), 0.17% of the samples were non-compliant for zearalanone and derivatives; the non-compliant samples were found in\u00a0 bovines\u00a0 (0.29%),\u00a0 sheep\u00a0 and\u00a0 goats\u00a0 (1.23%)\u00a0 and\u00a0 horses\u00a0 (0.97%).
\n– For\u00a0 beta-agonists\u00a0 (A5),\u00a0 there were 0.02% non-compliant samples in total, all reported for bovines.
\n– Prohibited substances (A6) were found in 0.03% of samples. Substances identified were. The substances identified were chloramphenicol, nitroimidazoles and nitrofurans.<\/p>\n

For group B:
\n– For antibacterials (B1), 0.26% of samples were non-compliant. The highest frequency of non-compliant samples for antibacterial agents was observed in honey (0.83%)
\n– In group B2 (other veterinary drugs), the highest proportion of non-compliant samples was found for NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) (0.27%). Non-compliant samples\u00a0 were\u00a0 reported\u00a0 across\u00a0 the\u00a0 different\u00a0 species\u00a0 as\u00a0 follows;\u00a0 0.05%\u00a0 for\u00a0 bovines,\u00a0 0.06%\u00a0 for\u00a0 sheep and\u00a0 goats,\u00a0 0.66%\u00a0 for\u00a0 horses,\u00a0 0.06%\u00a0 for \u00a0pigs\u00a0 and\u00a0 0.96% for milk.
\n– In Group B3 (other substances and environmental contaminants), cadmium, lead, mercury and copper had the highest overall percentage of non-compliant samples (4.69%).<\/p>\n

Please note that our laboratory has developed an innovative method for the analysis of veterinary medicinal product residues on a number of chemical families unrivalled in France.<\/p>\n

The Phytocontrol laboratory is thus able to detect and quantify a large list of veterinary medicinal product residues using a high-performance HPLC-QTOF technique, supplemented with LC-MS\/MS, in a package that also includes Chloramphenicol.<\/p>\n
