Official control • MAST is responsible for residues monitoring in live animals and animal products. • The NRCP is based on the total national production and the requirements of Council Directive 96/23/EC. • Samples are taken from all relevant substance groups • Official veterinarians take the samples except some milk samples at farms

  8. Laboratories • Two laboratories in Iceland • Some antibiotics • Heavy metals • Laboratories abroad • Other substances • No reference laboratory for residues in Iceland

Dairy plants operate own control programmes for antibacterial substances and non-compliant results and evidence of follow up investigations by the dairy plants must be reported to the district veterinary officer

  10. Follow – up of non - compliants • In case of non compliant results the MAST NCPR coordinator would contact the DVO of the district where from the sample originates and require him to follow up on the non compliant result. • There have been no non - compliant results in recent years.
