Specifications
Target Information
Hexestrol is highly relevant to animal-derived food safety. It is a synthetic non-steroidal estrogen that was historically used as a growth promoter in livestock to increase weight gain and improve feed efficiency. Its use in food-producing animals is now banned in many countries, including the European Union and China. The primary food safety concern is that hexestrol is a potent endocrine disruptor and a potential carcinogen. Residues of this hormone remaining in meat and other animal products can pose a serious health risk to human consumers.
