Individual data set from the National Residue Control Plan (NRKP) – reporting year 2021

Description

The National Residue Control Plan for Food of Animal Origin is a programme, implemented since 1989, which examines, inter alia, live farm animals, meat, aquaculture products, milk, eggs and honey for residues of undesirable substances. The programme coordinated in Germany by the BVL is implemented in the European Union according to uniform standards. The import control plan for products of animal origin from non-EU countries has been implemented in a uniform manner since 2004. The inspection of consignments and sampling shall be carried out at the border inspection posts. Article 4 in conjunction with Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2130 requires Member States to submit a monitoring plan to consignments of products presented for importation. Objective of monitoring The plans are aimed at preventive consumer health protection. The aim of the NRKP and EIP is to detect the illegal use of prohibited or unauthorised substances and to control the proper use of authorised veterinary medicinal products. In addition, exposure to environmental contaminants such as heavy metals and other undesirable substances is recorded. Since 2010, consignments have also been studied for microbiological parameters, histamine, parasites, radioactivity, additives, GMOs, marine biotoxins and other product-specific parameters. The NRKP is geared towards the control of livestock stocks, slaughterhouses and holdings receiving the unprocessed raw product. This applies in particular to farms processing milk, eggs, honey and game. The NRKP therefore makes it possible to monitor animals and animal products from the beginning of the production process. By sampling at an early stage of the production chain, products contaminated with residues can easily be traced back to the establishment of origin. Sampling is carried out in a target-oriented manner. This means that knowledge of local or regional circumstances is taken into account or that indications of inadmissible or irregular animal treatment are investigated. The NRKP is therefore not aimed at obtaining statistically representative data. The EÜP focuses on the control of food-producing live animals and animal products upon importation into the European Union via Germany. Sampling shall be risk-based in accordance with the risk approach set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Therefore, no general conclusions can be drawn from the data on the actual contamination of animal products with undesirable substances.
