Food Safety and Quality : FDA Strategy Needed to Address Animal Drug Residues in Milk

Reviews the FDA¹s and the states¹ efforts to test for and control animal drug residues in milk and FDA¹s extra-label drug use policy, under which FDA generally will not pursue enforcement action when veterinarians violate the law by treating a food animal, under emergency circumstances, with drugs not in accordance with approved drug labels. Concludes that a large gap exists between the number of drugs used to treat dairy cows and the number of drugs FDA and states test for in milk.Food Safety and Quality : FDA Strategy Needed to Address Animal Drug Residues in Milk, was published 1993 under ISBN 9781568065540 and ISBN 156806554X.
