Clenbuterol is a kind of animal medicine, and several drugs are called Clenbuterol, such as ractopamine and clenbuterol. Adding lean meat to feed can increase the lean meat quantity of animals, reduce the use of feed, bring meat to the market early and reduce the cost. However, due to the side effects on human body, the standards for open use vary from country to country.

Clenbuterol belongs to Class B accelerant, which can promote the synthesis of protein and make pigs grow more lean meat (lean meat) and less fat, which can be added to pig feed for long-term consumption. The pigs raised are in good shape and have high profits. Farmers can mix lean meat into pig feed and feed it to pigs, which can make pork grow lean meat quickly.

After pigs eat lean meat, lean meat is mainly stored in pig liver, pig lung and other places [3]. If the residue is too high if it is not used according to the regulations, poisoning symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, muscle trembling, palpitation and rising blood pressure may occur immediately after eating a lot of pig liver and pig lung, even cooked food.

How to Identify Clenbuterol Pork

Although it is difficult for consumers to accurately identify whether there is "clenbuterol" residue in animal products from the appearance, they can still identify it by paying more attention when purchasing pork. Because of feeding a large number of "lean meat" meat, the appearance is particularly bright red, and the lean fiber is loose, and sometimes a small amount of "sweat" seeps out of the meat surface; Generally, healthy lean pork is reddish, with good meat elasticity and no "sweating" phenomenon.

For poultry and meat products suspected to contain clenbuterol, the residue of clenbuterol can be detected by chromatography, immunoassay and biosensor.
