In mid-February this year, employees of the Department took samples of food products in 5 preschool institutions of the Ust-Aldan region and sent them to the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Irkutsk MVL" for research on quality and safety indicators.
According to the results of laboratory studies, in 1 sample, a non-compliance with regulatory requirements was revealed, namely, the antibiotic enrofloxacin was found in minced chicken MEAT from a manufacturer operating in the Stavropol Territory. This product was intended for catering for pupils of one of the preschool institutions.
For reference: enrofloxacin is an antibacterial drug of the fluoroquinolone group. it is used for the treatment and prevention of bird diseases. Poultry slaughter for meat is allowed no earlier than 11 days after the last use of the drug. The use of products with the presence of antibiotics has a wide range of negative effects on human HEALTH. Antibiotic residues in food contribute to the emergence of resistant strains of microorganisms in humans. Accordingly, people who consume such products develop addiction to taking antibiotics, and increasingly stronger drugs are required to obtain the expected effect in the treatment. Also, the presence of antibiotics in the body can cause severe allergic reactions, accompanied by severe itching, rashes, and in rare cases, swelling.
Information about the fact of the identified non-compliance is promptly sent to the departments concerned for taking action in relation to these products. The manufacturer has taken measures to prevent violations. A batch of products that do not meet the requirements is withdrawn from circulation. It will be returned to the manufacturer.
Sampling is carried out within the framework of the order of the ROSSELKHOZNADZOR , to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, as well as on the basis of the Agreement on Cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
