Risk of cross-contamination due to the use of antimicrobial medicated feed throughout the trail of feed from the feed mill to the farm.
residues of antimicrobials causes an animal and public health concern associated with the potential for the selection and dissemination of resistance in commensal bacteria and potentially zoonotic bacteria. ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
a selection of representative baby bottles. For migration testing, the use of simulants is prescribed in the legislation to mimic the testing of real foods. Specifically, a mixture of water-EtOH (50:50, v/v) is ...
