Results from the monitoring of veterinary medicinal product residues and other substances in live animals and animal products - Slovenia

This dataset contains the monitoring results of veterinary medicinal product residues and other substances measured in live animals and animal products analysed by the national competent authority of Slovenia. The presence of unauthorised substances, residues of veterinary medicinal products in food may pose a risk factor for public health.

For this reason and in order to ensure a high level of consumer protection, a comprehensive legislative framework has been established in the European Union (EU) which defines maximum limits permitted in food and monitoring programmes for the control of the presence of these substances in the food chain. Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 establishes maximum limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in food-producing animals and animal products. Maximum residue levels for pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1646 lays down practical arrangements for and specific content of official controls of the use of veterinary medicinal products in live animals and products of animal origin through three different official national control plans: a national risk-based control plan for production in the Member States, a national randomised surveillance plan for production in the Member States and a national risk-based control plan for third-country imports. Additionally, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 lays down the range of samples and stage of production, processing and distribution at which the samples are to be taken.

Since 2018 until 2022, the data on the national residue monitoring plan were reported to EFSA in accordance with Council Directive 96/23/EC.

The dataset contains the results of laboratory tests from samples taken from bovines, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, rabbits, farmed game, wild game aquaculture, milk, eggs and honey, and from 2023 also samples from casings, insects and reptiles.

Targeted samples are taken with the aim of detecting illegal treatment or controlling compliance with the maximum levels laid down in the relevant legislation. This means that, in their national plans Member States target the groups of animals (species, gender, age) where the probability of finding residues is the highest. Conversely, the objective of random sampling is to collect significant data to evaluate, for example, consumer exposure to a specific substance.

Suspect samples are taken as a consequence of i) non-compliant results on samples taken in accordance with the control plans, ii) possession or presence of prohibited substances at any point during manufacture, storage, distribution or sale through the food and feed production chain, or iii) suspicion or evidence of illegal treatment or non-compliance with the withdrawal period for an authorised medicinal veterinary product.

Residues of pharmacologically active substances mean active substances, excipients or degradation products and their metabolites, which remain in food.

Unauthorised substances mean substances that are not authorised as veterinary medicinal products or as a feed additive under European Union legislation.

Prohibited substances mean substances which are prohibited for use in food producing animals according to the European Union legislation.

Non-compliant sample is a sample that has been analysed for the presence of one or more substances and failed to comply with the legal provisions for at least one substance. Thus, a sample can be non-compliant for one or more substances.

本数据集收录了斯洛文尼亚国家主管部门对活体动物及动物产品开展检测得到的兽药残留及其他物质监测结果。食品中存在未授权物质及兽药残留，可能对公众健康构成风险。

为此，为保障消费者权益至高标准，欧盟（EU）建立了完备的法律框架，明确了食品中允许的最大残留限量，并制定了管控食物链内此类物质存在的监测方案。（EU）第37/2010号法规确立了食用动物及动物产品中兽药残留的最大残留限量。（EC）第396/2005号法规则规定了植物源及动物源食品与饲料中农药的最大残留水平。欧盟委员会实施细则（EU）2022/1646号规定了针对活体动物及动物产品兽药使用的官方监管的具体实操安排与内容，该监管通过三类官方国家管控方案实施：一是成员国生产领域基于风险的国家管控计划，二是成员国生产领域的国家随机监测计划，三是第三国进口产品的基于风险的国家管控计划。此外，欧盟委员会委托细则（EU）2022/1644号明确了抽样范围以及样品采集的生产、加工与流通阶段。

2018年至2022年期间，欧盟依据理事会指令96/23/EC，将国家残留监测计划相关数据报送至欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）。

本数据集涵盖了从牛、猪、绵羊、山羊、马、家禽、兔、养殖野味、野生野味、水产养殖动物、牛奶、鸡蛋及蜂蜜中采集的样品的实验室检测结果；自2023年起，新增了肠衣、昆虫及爬行动物来源样品的检测结果。

定向采样旨在检测非法用药行为，或核查是否符合相关法规规定的最大残留限量要求。这意味着，成员国在其国家计划中，会将采样目标锁定在兽药残留检出概率最高的动物群体（物种、性别、年龄）。反之，随机采样的目标则是获取具有统计学意义的数据，以评估消费者对特定物质的暴露情况等。

可疑样品的采集情形包括：① 依据管控计划采集的样品检测结果不合格；② 在食品及饲料生产链的制造、储存、流通或销售任一环节中，发现或持有禁用物质；③ 存在非法用药行为，或未遵守授权兽用药品的休药期规定的嫌疑或证据。

药理活性物质残留指残留于食品中的活性物质、辅料、降解产物及其代谢产物。

未授权物质指依据欧盟法规，未被批准作为兽药或饲料添加剂的物质。

禁用物质指依据欧盟法规，禁止用于食用动物的物质。

不合格样品指针对一种或多种物质开展检测后，至少有一种物质不符合法定要求的样品。因此，一份样品可能因一种或多种物质不合格而被判定为不合格样品。
