National Monitoring Plan for POAO: Data Analysis Report 2022-23 - Sampling for veterinary residues
A summary of the veterinary residues sampling results of imported products of animal origin (POAO) undertaken at UK Border Inspection Posts (BCPs), under the UK’s National Monitoring Plan (NMP), between April 2022 and March 2023.
There were 877 samples from 28 countries taken and checked for the presence of veterinary residues. There were thirteen non-compliant results for Antibacterials, Malachite green, Malachite green-Leuco, Other pharmacologically active substances, and Pesticide residues from Bangladesh and Vietnam.
The greatest number of veterinary residue samples were taken from China (153 or 17%), followed by India (120 or 14%), Vietnam (120 or 14%), Thailand (78 or 9%), and Brazil (73 or 8%). Countries marked with an asterisk on the table are shown together as ‘other’ on the graph chart.
