Incident Report: Inconsistent Amino Acid Content in Livestock Supplements
On August 28, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning livestock supplements originating from China. The incident was flagged by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, known as Россельхознадзор. The primary concern revolves around the inconsistent amino acid content found within these supplements, which are crucial for the health and growth of livestock.
Amino acids are essential building blocks for protein synthesis in animals, and any discrepancies in their content can lead to serious health issues, affecting growth rates, reproductive performance, and overall animal well-being. The inconsistency in amino acid levels may result from inadequate quality control measures during production or variations in raw materials used in the manufacturing process.
As livestock supplements are integral to animal nutrition and health, it is imperative for producers and farmers to be vigilant about the quality of these products. Consumers are advised to consult with veterinary professionals regarding the supplements they use and to report any adverse effects observed in livestock. Regulatory authorities are expected to take necessary actions to ensure that all livestock supplements meet safety and quality standards to protect animal health and, consequently, food safety.
Continued monitoring and testing of livestock supplements are essential to prevent similar incidents in the future and to maintain the integrity of the food supply chain.
