The European Commission presented proposals on 25 March 2002 to prohibit the use of antibiotics as growth-promoting feed additives. The four remaining authorised antibiotics currently used as growth-promoters in feed (monensin sodium, salinomycin sodium, avilamycin and flavophospholipol) would have to be phased out by January 2006. Unsafe animal feed has been the root cause of most of the recent food scares that have undermined the confidence of European consumers in what they eat. |
