EU bans hormonal substances in animal husbandry since 1981

In 1981, the European Union took a firm and proactive decision to ban the use of hormonally active substances in the promotion of breeding in poultry and other farm animals. This measure was taken in the context of growing concerns about food safety and the impact these substances could have on human health. Examples of such hormone-active substances include oestradiol, testosterone, progesterone, trenbolone acetate, melengestrol and zeranol. These substances have been used in the past to accelerate the growth and fattening of farm animals, but the risks to human health have prompted the European Union to take firm action to protect consumers.

That's why the myth that chickens are bigger today because of steroids and hormones is far from reality. Farmed birds grow fast due to several factors such as proper nutrition. Furthermore, the EU is constantly assessing the public health risks associated with food and regularly implementing new guidelines to ensure compliance with the highest food safety standards.

Thus, any products from animals that have been treated with these substances are completely banned for marketing and consumption. This measure not only protects consumers against the possible risks associated with eating meat treated with such substances, but also ensures that the food industry operates in accordance with the strictest ethical and health standards.
