- What they are: broad-spectrum antibiotics heavily used in SA cattle, pigs, and poultry.
- Food safety: EU/Codex MRL in milk is 100 µg/kg; higher limits apply to meat/muscle. Carry-over from treated animals causes batch rejection.

- Typical samples: raw milk, meat/muscle tissue, kidney (highest residue load), eggs.
- Who cares in SA: dairy processors, abattoirs (meat residue monitoring), poultry producers.
