4-Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid-BSA Antigen

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid is a synthetic halogenated phenoxy plant growth regulator primarily used in agriculture to prevent premature fruit drop, promote fruit set, and accelerate growth in crops like tomatoes, grapes, and bean sprouts. Animal-derived food safety risks emerge when livestock or poultry consume contaminated crop byproducts, treated forage, or feed containing pesticide residues. Once ingested, the compound can be absorbed and leave chemical residues in animal tissues, milk, and eggs. Because excessive dietary intake of phenoxy growth regulators can pose potential risks to human health, including gastrointestinal irritation and organ toxicity, regulatory agencies monitor its residues and establish specific safety limits in agricultural and animal products.
