6 Sector announcements Ban production bans sales of ractopamine

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced on the 23rd that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Health, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly announced that the production and sale of ractopamine were banned in China since December 5.

According to Kang Zhen, the country's chief veterinarian, Ractopamine belongs to the category of "Clenbuterol." "Clenbuterol" is a common name for beta-adrenoceptor agonists, including more than a dozen substances such as clenbuterol, ractopamine, and ****. Most beta-agonist compounds are anti-asthma drugs commonly used in medical practice.

It is understood that in the early 1980s, American scholars discovered that feeding clenbuterol to animals can increase lean meat and feed conversion rates, and achieve good economic benefits. As a result, the United States began to use it for animal breeding and gradually spread it to other countries. Later, its toxic side effects were found to be relatively large. At the end of the 1980s, the European Union and the United States successively announced the prohibition of use. Subsequently, US pharmaceutical companies developed ractopamine, a less toxic and fast-metabolizing alternative. When used, rigoropamine is almost never consumed in animals as long as the dose is strictly controlled and the withdrawal period is enforced. More than 20 countries including the United States, Canada, and Mexico have successively approved the use of ractopamine for pig breeding.

In the early 90s of last century, "lean meat essence" was introduced into China. In 1998, Gaoming City, Guangdong Province, the first case of domestic consumption of clenbuterol-containing lung poisoning occurred, which aroused concern from relevant parties and society. In 2002, the Ministry of Agriculture, together with the Ministry of Health and the State Food and Drug Administration, jointly issued the Catalogue of Drugs Prohibited for Use in Feed and Animal Drinking Water, which bans the use of **clenbuterol, ractopamine, and And other "lean meat" substances.
