title: [The current status and risk evaluation of the use of hormone preparations in food producing animals].
abstract: Three groups of hormonal agents are currently in discussion for meat and milk production: sexual hormone active anabolics and beta-agonists, the latter acting as lipidmodulators to produce lean meat (for example, Clenbuterol, Salbutamol). Biologically active residues can result from illegal treatment only under exceptional circumstances. The analytical control measures, particularly for babyfood production, are of a very high standard in thr FRG and guarantee the safety of the products. The growth hormone that enhances milk yield has no importance as it is orally inactive.
