Amidst the growing global concern about the presence of antibiotics in the seafood exported from many Asian countries, the MPEDA has issued an alert to all the players in the seafood sector to not use banned antibiotics on aquafarms. Despite taking an early lead on this issue the country might be identified as "high risk regions" even if a few players ignore the warning. The presence of chloromphenicol group of antibiotics in the seafood exported from a few Asian countries had provoked many importing countries to take action against them. The EU has banned import of seafood from China on this ground. |
