As veterinary medicinal products used for the therapeutic treatment and the welfare of animals which are destined for human consumption may give rise to residues of such products in food-producing animals, a risk assessment of the safety limit of residues of all pharmacologically active substances contained in veterinary products needs to be carried out.
Kuna inimtoiduks ettenähtud loomade raviks ja heaoluks kasutatavad veterinaarravimid võivad suurendada selliste toodete jääke toiduloomades, tuleb teostada veterinaartoodetes esinevate farmakoloogiliste toimeainete jääkide ohutute piirnormide riskianalüüs.
