01.08.08; Emergency measures applicable to crustaceous imported from Bangladesh and intended for human consumption
Residues of veterinary medicinal products and unauthorised substances have been detected in crustaceous imported into the EU from Bangladesh and intended for human consumption. The presence of those products and substances in food presents a potential risk for human health.
The results of the latest EU inspection visit to Bangladesh have revealed serious shortcomings as regards the residue control system in live animals and animal products and a lack of appropriate laboratory capacity or the testing of certain residues of veterinary medicinal products in live animals and animal products.
Certain emergency measures are now applicable to importations of crustaceous from Bangladesh in order to ensure the effective and uniform protection of human health in all EU Member States.
Vetimpleg explains the consequences of these measures.
