Antibiotic residues in milk remain a problem for the dairy sector, according to a new report from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
It follows confirmation that one liquid milk producer, who had been found to have supplied antibiotic contaminated milk on at least six occasions in 2013, had not received a follow-up advisory visit by Department of Agriculture veterinary staff.
Such a follow up is a requirement of the current food safety regulations and the incidents were deemed by the FSAI to be a serious breach of the communication structures put in place between the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, liquid milk processors and farmers.
