Banned Drugs Found in Your Meat

A case made for vegetable base meat replacement, ala Henk Hoogankamp's work on rice protein.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
83 percent of supermarket meats (turkey, pork, ground beef and chicken) are contaminated with fecal bacteria, including drug-resistant bacteria; contaminated chicken is responsible for the greatest number of foodborne illnesses

Testing reveals meats may also contain drugs that are banned for use in food animals. Drugs such as ketamine, phenylbutazone and chloramphenicol are all found in the U.S. meat supply

Possible routes of entry include improper use, use of counterfeit drugs or contaminated feed, and intentional misuse driven by profit seeking

A number of samples were found to contain banned drugs at levels above the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service cutoff. Still, no action was taken

Food inspectors visually inspect 140 carcasses per minute — between two and three chickens per second — for the presence of fecal material; they test for drugs and bacteria during spot checks only
