Target Information
While testosterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone in animals, the food safety concern revolves around its use as a hormonal growth promoter in livestock. The practice of administering testosterone to accelerate growth and improve feed efficiency is banned in many countries, including the European Union and China. The primary risk is the potential for illegal residues of this hormone to remain in meat and other animal products, which could have endocrine-disrupting effects on humans who consume them.
