Food of animal origin is an important factor in protecting the consumer from health risks emanating from the environment. This is why chemical and drug residues in food animals have been included in the Meat Inspection Act in the Federal Republic of Germany. The following substances are subject to regulation: Drugs; Feed additives; Pesticides; Toxic substances from the environment. While drugs may give rise to resistance of infective agents to them, feed additives may accumulate in the organism and have a toxic effect. Pesticides themselves may not be harmful in the amounts, which accumulate in meat, however, their metabolic products in the human body may be toxic. Radioactive substances and radioactive fall-out as well as cadmium and mercury are dangerous when accumulating in meat. Therefor, fixation of tolerance levels for defined residues has been started to be set according to the new Foods Act, including their toxicological evaluation. Condemnation of organs of slaughter animals in which these chemicals accumulate is obligatory.
动物源性食品是保护消费者免受环境健康风险影响的重要因素。这就是为什么德国联邦共和国的《肉类检查法》将食用动物中的化学和药物残留纳入其中的原因。以下物质受到监管：药物；饲料添加剂；农药；来自环境的有毒物质。虽然药物可能会使感染因子产生耐药性，但饲料添加剂可能会在生物体中积累并产生毒性作用。农药本身在肉类中积累的量可能无害，然而，它们在人体中的代谢产物可能有毒。放射性物质和放射性尘埃以及镉和汞在肉类中积累时是危险的。因此，已开始根据新的《食品法》确定特定残留物的耐受水平，包括对其进行毒理学评估。必须谴责这些化学物质在其中积累的屠宰动物器官。
