Residual amounts of antibiotics were detected in meat products by specialists from the Siberian branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Center for Grain Quality Assessment"

Antibiotic levels in the samples ranged from 342 to 467 μg/kg, which is unacceptable according to the Customs Union Technical Regulation (TR CU 021/2011) "On Food Safety." Information about the detected discrepancies has been sent to the ROSSELKHOZNADZOR Office for Omsk Oblast for appropriate action.

For reference:

Ofloxacin is a bactericidal antibiotic intended for the treatment of poultry and cattle . The drug is effective against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Salmonella, and other pathogens. However, ofloxacin must be completely eliminated from the animal's body before slaughter. Otherwise, the next consumer will be the buyer. Antibiotics entering the human body can cause allergic reactions, microbial resistance to the drug, and other adverse HEALTH effects.
