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

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 Bulgaria. 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.

本数据集收录保加利亚国家主管机构针对活体动物及动物产品中兽药残留与其他物质开展监测所得的检测结果。食品中若存在未批准物质、兽药残留或化学污染物，将可能对公众健康构成风险。为此，为实现高水平的消费者保护，欧盟（EU）构建了完备的立法框架，明确了食品中各类物质的允许最大限值，并制定了针对食物链中此类物质的管控监测方案。（EU）第37/2010号法规规定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号法规明确了动植物源食品及饲料中农药的最大残留水平。（EC）第1881/2006号委员会法规规定了动物产品中部分污染物的最大允许限值。96/23/EC号理事会指令规定了针对活体动物及动物产品中部分物质及其残留（主要为兽药）的监测措施。此外，（EC）第97/747/EC号委员会决定规定了特定动物产品的抽样标准与抽样频率。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违规用药行为，或核查是否符合相关法规规定的最大残留限值要求。这意味着，欧盟成员国在其国家监测计划中，会优先选取最有可能检出残留的动物群体（按物种、性别、年龄分类）。疑似样本的采集情形包括：1. 依据监测计划采集的样本检测结果不符合法规要求；2. 在食品及饲料生产链的制造、储存、分销或销售任一环节中发现或持有禁用物质；3. 存在违规用药或未遵守获批兽药休药期的嫌疑或实证。药物活性物质残留指留存于食品中的活性成分、辅料、降解产物及其代谢产物。未批准物质或产品指欧盟法规中明令禁止的物质或产品。不符合要求样本指经检测后，针对一种或多种物质开展分析，且至少有一种物质不符合法规要求的样本。因此，样本可能因一种或多种物质而被判定为不符合要求。各数据批次对应的报送机构如下：VMPR_2022：保加利亚食品安全局下属兽医卫生鉴定与生态学中央实验室；VMPR_2021：保加利亚食品安全局下属兽医卫生鉴定与生态学中央实验室；VMPR_2020：保加利亚食品安全局下属兽医卫生鉴定与生态学中央实验室；VMPR_2019：保加利亚食品链风险评估中心；VMPR_2018：保加利亚食品安全局；VMPR_2017：保加利亚食品安全局。
