Specifications
Target Information
The nitrofurazone metabolite, specifically semicarbazide (SEM), is highly relevant to animal-derived food safety. Nitrofurazone 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 nitrofurazone is quickly metabolized, SEM is a stable compound that can bind to proteins and persist in animal tissues. SEM is a concern because it is considered a potential human carcinogen, and its presence in meat, poultry, and seafood is strictly prohibited and monitored.
