Abstract

The Health of Animals Laboratory in Saskatoon provides a central testing facility for chemical residues in meats in support of Agriculture Canada's meat inspection programs. Samples are sent to this laboratory from federally inspected packing houses all across Canada to test for residues which may result from the deliberate or accidental exposure of an animal to a chemical. Additional samples are tested at Laboratory Services Division, Ottawa, and also by several private laboratories under contract to Agriculture Canada.
