Maximum Residue Levels of Veterinary Medicines in Relation to Food Safety: European Community Legislation and Ethical Aspects

Abstract: Residues of veterinary medicinal products, as defined by the European Union, are "pharmacologically active substances (whether active principles, excipients or degradation products) and their metabolites which remain in foodstuffs obtained from animals to which the veterinary medicinal product in question has been administered". The policy for Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) setting is focused on a high protection level for the consumer. MRL can be set when risk assessment shows no risk for the consumer. An MRL is… Show more

“…Direct exposure of antibiotics through animal‐based food products has been studied in beef (Carretero et al, 2008), eggs (Donoghue et al, 1996), honey (Sheridan et al, 2008), milk (Mitchell et al, 1998), pork (Berends et al, 2001), and poultry (Vandenberge et al, 2012). Maximum residue levels of antibiotic compounds in animal food products are largely regulated in developed countries (Passantino and Russo, 2008). Antibiotics, including sulfonamides and tetracyclines, have been detected in dust originating from livestock facilities, and it is postulated that this material could be transported very long distances (Hamscher et al, 2003; McEachran et al, 2015).…”

“…4 The European union (EU) has regulated an MRL of 50 mg L À1 for nitroimidazoles and 100 mg L À1 for fluoroquinolones in drinking water. [5][6][7][8] Because of the very low levels of antibiotics and complexity of the sample matrix in which they are present, a sample preparation step is usually required before analyzing the samples. In fact, such treatments should be performed to improve the performance of the analytical method and to separate the unwanted components that may interfere with the analyte measurement.…”

“…Residues in meat may result from many sources such as pesticides or from veterinary drugs which used to prevent or treat diseases, or to promote growth (4). Other disadvantages are that withdrawal time in relation to the maximum residue limit (MRL) is not taken into account (5)(6)(7)(8). Nowadays, antibiotics play a major role to rise agriculture and to enhance feed conversion in livestock industries (2).…”
