Specifications
Target Information
The furazolidone metabolite, specifically 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ), is highly relevant to animal-derived food safety. Furazolidone is a nitrofuran-class antibiotic that was used to treat bacterial infections in livestock and aquaculture. Its use in food-producing animals has been banned in many countries due to its potential health risks. While furazolidone is quickly metabolized, AOZ is a stable compound that can bind to proteins and persist in animal tissues like meat and seafood. As AOZ is considered a potential human carcinogen and mutagen, its presence in food products is a serious public health concern.
