The world population increase has led to the intensive production of animal origin food, particularly, poultry meat and bivalves, requiring a wide use of coccidiostats and antibiotics that may affect human consumers. Their assessment in fresh tissues of different origins, as well as the effects of cooking processes on their occurrence is crucial to implement mitigation measures.
Six coccidiostats were found in 20.8% of poultry samples. Home raised samples showed greater coccidiostats incidence than supermarket and canteen samples. Four antibiotics were found in 21% of bivalve aquiculture samples. Results on the effects of cooking processes are under analysis.
