HRD-79-10 1 (1979-04-17)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaayyy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1 oq o.. BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL ' .,1 Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES ota,+ Problems In Preventing The Marketing Of Raw Meat And Poultry Containing Potentially Harmful Residues GAO estimates that 14 percent by dressed weight of the meat and poultry sampled by the Department of Agriculture between 1974 and 1976 contained illegal and potentially harmful residues of animal drugs, pesticides, or environmental contaminants. Many of these substances are known to cause or are suspected of causing cancer, birth defects, or other toxic effects. Actions taken by the Food and Drug Admin- istration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Agriculture to protect consumers from illegal and potentially harm- ful residues have not been effective because: --The extent of public exposure to illegal residues has not been accurately esti- mated. --Contaminated meat and poultry are generally marketed before the violation is discovered and some cannot be re- called. --Efforts to prevent future shipments of meat and poultry containing illegal res- idues have been inadequate.
