Antibiotics in pork: what the consumer needs to know?

Pork is one of the most common types of MEAT that we eat in everyday life. However, recently information appeared on the Internet that pork contains antibiotics that can harm human HEALTH. Let's see how true this is.

 

First, it is worth noting that antibiotics are used to fight bacterial infections and have nothing to do with animal husbandry. However, farmers can use antibiotics to prevent disease in their animals. This can lead to traces of antibiotics in animal products such as meat, MILK and eggs.

 

But it should be noted that in most countries of the world there are strict rules for controlling the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry. For example, the European Union bans the use of antibiotics to prevent diseases in animals. In addition, all livestock products are subject to a mandatory test for the presence of antibiotics before they hit the shelves.

 

Thus, we can conclude that the presence of antibiotics in pork is the exception rather than the rule. However, to be sure of the quality of the product, you should choose pork from trusted sellers and follow the correct storage and preparation of the product.

 

In addition, it is worth remembering that the correct preparation of pork is a key point for maintaining its nutritional properties and safety for health. You should cook the meat until it is completely cooked in order to kill all possible bacteria and germs. It is also necessary to monitor the storage conditions of meat and do not use it after the expiration date.

 

It is important to remember that proper nutrition is the key to health. Therefore, you should eat a varied and high-quality food, as well as monitor your health and seek help from specialists if necessary.
