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

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 Austria. The presence of unauthorised substances, residues of veterinary medicinal products or chemical contaminants 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 Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 lays down the maximum limits for the presence of certain contaminants in animal products. Council Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof, mainly veterinary medicinal products, in live animals and animal products. Additionally, Commission Decision 97/747/EC lays down levels and frequencies of sampling for certain animal products. 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. 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. Suspect samples are taken as a consequence of i) non-compliant results on samples taken in accordance with the monitoring plan, 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 or products mean substances or products prohibited under 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.本数据集收录奥地利国家主管机构对活体动物及动物产品开展检测所得到的兽药（veterinary medicinal product）残留及其他物质监测结果。食品中若存在未授权物质、兽药残留或化学污染物，可能对公众健康构成风险隐患。 为此，为保障高水平的消费者权益保护，欧盟（EU）已构建起一套完备的立法框架，明确了食品中允许的最大残留限量，以及针对食物链中此类物质的管控监测方案。（欧盟）第37/2010号条例规定了食用动物及动物产品中兽药残留的最大限量标准；（欧共体）第396/2005号条例则对植物源与动物源食品、饲料中的农药最大残留限量作出了规定；（欧共体）第1881/2006号委员会条例设定了动物产品中部分污染物的最大限值；欧盟理事会第96/23/EC号指令则针对活体动物及动物产品中的部分物质及其残留（主要为兽药）制定了监测管控措施。此外，（欧共体）第97/747/EC号委员会决定明确了部分动物产品的采样级别与采样频次。 本数据集涵盖从牛、猪、绵羊、山羊、马、家禽、兔、养殖野味、野生水产养殖动物、牛奶、鸡蛋及蜂蜜中采集的样本的实验室检测结果。 针对性采样的目的在于检测非法用药行为，或核查是否符合相关立法规定的最大限量标准。这表明，各成员国在其国家监测计划中，会将采样重点聚焦于检出残留概率最高的动物群体（包括物种、性别、年龄维度）。 疑似样本的采集情形包括：i）依据监测计划采集的样本检测结果不合格；ii）在食品及饲料生产链的制造、储存、分销或销售任一环节中，存在或持有违禁物质；iii）存在非法用药，或未遵守合法兽药产品休药期的嫌疑或实证。 药理活性物质残留，指留存于食品中的活性成分、辅料、降解产物及其代谢物。 未授权物质或产品，指欧盟立法所禁止的物质或产品。 不合格样本，指经检测发现一种或多种物质不符合至少一项法定要求的样本。因此，一份样本可能因一种或多种物质而被判定为不合格。
