Lebanese dairy products within international quality norms
22-5-2019
A study published on May 18 in An Nahar daily has shown that the incidence of antibiotics in dairy products in Lebanon is within allowable international rates. The results of the study prepared by NDU and LAU students appeared in the global Veterinary World magazine, and aims to evaluate the status of some of the daily products available in the local Lebanese market in terms of the level of antibiotics residues. The study covered some 44 samples of the most consumed and renowned brands that have been tested according to the internationally accredited ELISA technique for detecting and quantifying antibodies and hormones. For more on the study, An Nahar asked Dr. Hussein Hassan, one of the contributing researchers, who maintained that it tested the percentage of tetracycline and penicillin deposits in some dairies, including yogurt, labneh and milk. The result, he explained, was satisfactory and positive, noting that antibiotics residues were within the MRL levels. On choosing these two specific types, Hassan said they were commonly used by farmers. The study is available on the following link: https://bit.ly/2HIAkUD. (Annahar 18 May, 2019)
