Salbutamol in dirty pork exceeds 195,000 times

According to calculations, if pigs are leaned for 13 days, salbutamol residues in pork are 195,000 times higher than the permitted amount. This is a terrible number!

The shocking figure of the residue of lean substance in pork

Salbutamol is included in the list of 18 banned chemicals of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. It is abused supplements in animal feed to increase the rate of lean meat, reduce fat.

According to Quy Nhon Institute of Malaria and Parasitology, in the Medicine and Chemicals section, 1 kg of salbutamol can be mixed into 1 ton of animal feed.

Because a pig gains 2 kilograms a day, it is possible to eat 6 kg of food (weight gain = 1: 3), meaning eating 6g (= 6,000mg) of salbutamol or clenbuterol.

The therapeutic dose for a person (about 50-60 kg) cannot exceed 200 mcg = 0.2 mg, so the amount of the substance allowed in the pig weighs about 100kg: 2 * 0.2 = 0.4 mg.

So the amount of salbutamol (or clenbuterol) that pigs eat on a day is higher than the permitted amount: 6000mg / 0.4 = 15,000 times.

If the pig is slaughtered for 13 days (before 15 days of sale), salbutamol (or clenbuterol) residue is higher than the allowable amount: 15,000 * 13 = 195,000 times. Too terrible!

For animals such as pigs and animals, this animal can only survive for more than half a month when slaughtered.

When eating salbutamol contaminated meat, this toxin is easily absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and the amount of salbutamol remaining in the meat is much more absorbed by the body.

Salbutamol can cause myasthenia gravis, which reduces the movement of muscles and joints, causing the body to develop abnormally.

If consumers eat pork with a residue of two substances banned from salbutamol for a long time, there is a risk of bad effects on the heart, causing heart palpitations, hypertension, muscle tremors, digestive disorders if severe can be dangerous It is life-threatening and may be a risk to other diseases.

Eating this type of pork, women are at risk of breast cancer; testicular cyst men, varicose veins, lower semen quality, changing sexual behavior .

How to identify meat with lean substance

According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Duong, Deputy Director of the Department of Livestock Production (MARD), it is very difficult to distinguish pork from lean feed and lean lean meat from the naked eye.

In order to know which pork is infected with lean substance, meat samples must be taken for testing and analysis to make sure conclusions.

However, people should avoid pork that has a lean red like beef.

The following are four characteristics that identify super lean meat with chemicals according to the Department of Livestock experts:

1. See the fat layer under the skin: If the fat layer is thin and loose, avoid it.

Normally, super lean pigs are fed chemicals so the fat layer is thin, sometimes only 1 cm thick (usually about 0.4 cm), while the fat layer of normal pork is about 1.5-2 cm

2. Look at colors: Pork contains toxic substances Ractophamine and Clenbuterol often have unusual bright red, bright and shiny.

3. See elasticity: Cut out the meat with 2-3 finger thick, if you see soft meat, not standing upright on the table, it is very likely that the meat has been infected with weight gain.

4. Observe the place between the lean and the fat: If you see a distinct separation, while a yellow fluid oozes, it is definitely super lean.

Consumers should always be smart and smart to choose fresh, good quality meat so that families always have healthy and nutritious meals.
