Anti-INFLAMMATORY drugs, corticosteroids, and antibiotics. It has found a test of the monthly magazine Il Salvagente, from tomorrow on newsstand, in 21 packs of milk, fresh and Uht, of some of the main Italian brands bought in supermarkets and discount stores. In more than half of the packages were detected traces of drugs. The most frequent of dexamethasone (a cortisone), neloxicam (anti-inflammatory) and amoxicillin (an antibiotic), in concentrations between 0,022 µg/kg and 1.80 mcg/kg.
it Has been possible to detect with a new method created by the University Federico II of Naples, and that of Valencia, able to discover the content very small. No alarmism, according to the director of the magazine Riccardo Quintili, and also because it is all in good standing with the limits of the law, but want to make this clear. “These analyses – explain – don’t want to be a penalty to the companies in which the packaging we found residues of drugs. Many have been shown to be sensitive. The interest was to raise a potential risk to finding solutions”. From where come these medicinal residues? According to Enrico Moriconi, a veterinarian and supervisor of the animals of the Piedmont Region, are used to treat the mastitis, that is, udder infections, in cows milk”. Cortisone and anti-inflammatory drugs are used as adjuvants.

The findings confirm those of research on 56 milks Italian, published in the Journal of Dairy Science. “Infants and children are particularly vulnerable,” concludes Alberto you Believe, a professor of Food Chemistry at Federico II – and may be more vulnerable. For this a continuous monitoring of the herds would be necessary.”
