About Beta-lactams (penicillins, amoxicillin, ampicillin, cloxacillin)
- What they are: the most widely used antibiotic class in SA dairy and veterinary medicine, including mastitis treatment.
- Food safety: residues above the Codex / EU MRL of 4 µg/kg in milk (for Penicillin G) cause starter-culture failure in cheese and yoghurt production, and trigger penicillin-allergy risk in sensitive consumers.
- SA position: DALRRD limits align with Codex; all SA dairy processors screen incoming milk at reception.
- Typical samples: raw milk at farm tank, tanker reception, bulk silo.
- Who cares in SA: every commercial dairy processor; mastitis-treatment vet practices (withdrawal-period compliance).
