China General Administration of Customs: Clenbuterol was detected from U.S. beef, and an import declaration was suspended for another enterprise
On August 11, China's General Administration of Customs announced that Clenbuterol (ractopamine) had been detected in beef exported to China by a U.S. company. The company's declaration of imports of meat products was suspended.
This is the second time in less than a month that HMRC has detected Clenbuterol from U.S. beef.
In fact, ractopamine is a kind of low toxicity, fast metabolism of clenbuterol developed by the American pharmaceutical company, in order to promote pigs, cattle, turkeys and other lean meat, reduce body fat, widely used in the American breeding industry.
Excessive intake of ractopamine, the human body will have different degrees of toxic reactions, such as muscle tremors, limb paralysis, arrhythmias, breathing difficulties, etc., heavy can cause high blood pressure, heart disease and even death, so ractopamine has been listed by more than 160 people around the world as a drug banned in food, since December 5, 2011, China has also banned the production and sale of ractopamine.
Although the US FDA has always claimed that the safety of ractopamine within the safe residue has passed the scientific test, what they do not explain is that the scientific test of the United States, the human experiment sample is only 6 people, 1 of whom withdrew from the experiment because of palpitations, and these data are also provided by the company responsible for manufacturing ractopamine, and its reliability can be imagined.
In order to Chinese food safety, Chinese customs prohibits the United States ractopamine beef reasonably and legally, such clenbuterol beef, absolutely can not let the Chinese people eat into the stomach. （bear）
