Regulatory agency interaction in the control of drug residues in animal tissue.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has the responsibility of determining if a method for residues of drugs and pesticides in animal tissues is acceptable for regulatory control, reviewing data on interfering compounds, validating methods, monitoring drug residues in animal and poultry tissues, assigning priority for monitoring drugs and pesticide residues. These responsibilities are carried out in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the areas of method development, determination of priorities, and punitive action.
