Incident Report: Detection of Veterinary Drugs and Substances in Food and Food Additives

On November 4, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of veterinary drugs and substances in food products and food additives. This alarming discovery has raised concerns regarding the safety and integrity of food consumed by the public.

The source of this issue has been traced back to products originating from China. The presence of these contaminants poses serious health risks to consumers, as veterinary drugs are not intended for human consumption and can lead to adverse health effects.

This incident falls under the categories of fraud and control, highlighting the importance of stringent regulatory measures in the food supply chain. The detection of such contaminants underscores the need for rigorous testing and monitoring of food products to ensure they meet safety standards.

The State Administration for Market Regulation has been actively involved in addressing this issue, emphasizing the necessity for enhanced oversight and compliance among food producers and suppliers. Consumers are urged to remain vigilant and informed about the origins and safety of the food products they purchase.

In light of this incident, it is crucial for regulatory bodies to implement stronger controls and for consumers to demand transparency in food sourcing and safety practices. The health and safety of the public depend on the integrity of the food supply chain.
