Poultry, livestock and aquatic products were the main sources of food for the people in Taiwan. In order to ensure food safety, the health authorities continuously conduct tests on the veterinary drug residues in these products. In 2016, the sampling program of veterinary drugs was divided into two parts, namely high risk items and general items. The high risk items were the items with high failure rates of over 5% and make up a large proportion of sales in the past years. For the high risk items, there were 22 categories and 523 samples including 150 poultry products, 206 livestock products, 135 aquatic products and 32 honey products. All the samples were analyzed by 11 test methods covering a total of 128 drug items. The results showed that for the high risk items, 5 poultry products and 3 aquatic products exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRLs), and the rates of compliance were 96.7% and 97.8%, respectively. The overall rate of compliance was 98.5%. For the general items, 1,755 samples including 666 poultry products, 710 livestock products, 374 aquatic products and 5 honey products were analyzed. 14 poultry products, 2 livestock products and 8 aquatic products exceeded the MRLs, and the rates of compliance were 97.9, 99.7 and 97.9%, respectively. The overall rate of compliance was 98.6%. The local government authorities had been notified of the substandard products, which were subsequently removed from the market and penalties were imposed on the suppliers. |
