Recently, information has appeared in the media that some types of ham may contain an antibiotic. This information caused concern in many people, because antibiotics can have a negative impact on health.
But how real is this threat? Let's figure it out.
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They are a group of chemical compounds that can kill bacteria or stop their growth.
Why can ham contain antibiotics?
There are several reasons why ham may contain an antibiotic. One of them is the use of antibiotics in the production of animal feed. If animals are fed with antibiotics, then they can get into meat and milk , which are used to produce ham.
In addition, antibiotics can be used to fight animal diseases. Some producers may use these drugs to protect their animals from infections.
What do the experts say?
Although there has been concern about the presence of antibiotics in ham, experts say the risk to human health is minimal. According to the World Health Organization, the level of antibiotics in ham is very low and does not pose a health risk.
In addition, most countries around the world have strict rules and regulations to control antibiotic content in food. Manufacturers must comply with these regulations and pass mandatory certification in order to sell their products on the market.
What to do to avoid risk?
If you're still worried about the antibiotic content of ham, there are a few precautions you can take. Firstly, it is worth buying products only from trusted manufacturers and stores. Secondly, before eating ham and other meat products, they should be thoroughly cooked to kill all bacteria.
In conclusion, we can say that the information about the presence of antibiotics in ham is not a myth, but do not panic. The risk to human health is minimal, and following a few simple rules will help to avoid any possible problems.
