Clenbuterol use in pork still prevalent in Ho Chi Minh City
Posted Byi steroids
Last November 4, 2009, Ho Chi Minh City officials reported that more than 10 percent of the pork tested contained Clenbuterol, a substance used to keep the animal’s meat lean.
In a meeting with HCMC Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and pork traders, the city animal health department reported that out of 500 samples of pork they tested from slaughterhouse and wet markets, around 50 tested positive for anabolic steroids Clenbuterol.
More than 100 pork traders were asked by the city animal health department to support their campaign against steroids use in animals. They were asked not to buy pigs that were given Clenbuterol and to report any farms they know that uses this chemical in hog raising.
Clenbuterol is prohibited because contamination could cause food poisoning. Excessive intake of Clenbuterol could lead to heart palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, tightness of the chest, anxiety, shivering, weakness and instability. These toxic effects could not be eliminated through cooking.
Although figures were lower this year compared to last year, the city animal health department cautions that contamination could still be higher since establishments were aware of the inspection and could have taken some measures to mask their use of Clenbuterol.
From Thanhnien News:
More than 10 percent of pork tested in Ho Chi Minh City this year has been found containing clenbuterol that was fed to the animal to keep their meat lean, officials said Wednesday.
