✦ Synopsis

Determination of drugs in foods. In foods, drugs can come from different sources: animal therapeutics, zootechnical feed supplementation or human food additives. The possible consequences arising from the presence of drugs in food are considered. The quantitative determination of drugs in feeds or in human foods must fulfil various requirements, including specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and rapidity. Spectroscopic, electrochemical and chromatographic techniques are discussed. Some examples reported are ipronidazole, pyrimethamine, diethylstilboestrol, decoquinate and chloramphenicol. The need for quality assurance in analysis is also discussed.
