Target Information
Beta-agonists are a class of drugs that stimulate β-adrenergic receptors. While they have therapeutic uses, such as treating asthma in humans and some animals, certain types are illegally used in livestock to promote muscle growth and improve feed efficiency. This practice is a significant food safety concern because β-agonist residues can accumulate in the meat and organs of food-producing animals. Consumption of contaminated meat can cause adverse health effects in humans, including a rapid heart rate, muscle tremors, dizziness, and headaches.
