Specifications
Target Information
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic non-steroidal estrogen that was historically used as a growth promoter in livestock to increase weight gain. However, its use was banned globally after it was found to be a potent carcinogen. The primary food safety concern was the risk of carcinogenic residues remaining in the meat, which could pose a significant health risk to consumers. The ban on DES became a landmark event in food safety regulation, highlighting the dangers of using powerful hormonal substances in food-producing animals.
