Abstract: Ensuring the safety of food products remains a global challenge, requiring modern control methods such as biosensors, electronic analyzers ("electronic nose/tongue"), and non-destructive technologies. Of particular concern are antibiotic residues in milk, which contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. The authors explore alternative approaches, including phytogenic feed additives for mastitis prevention in cows. The need for rapid testing methods and updated regulatory frameworks to enhance food quality and safety is emphasized.
Keywords: Food products, veterinary and sanitary inspection, food quality and safety assessment, biomarkers, biosensors, milk safety, antibiotics in milk, phytobiotics and phytogenics.

Ensuring food safety is a global priority and a key objective for many international and national organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and relevant ministries and agencies [1, 2].

One of the branches of veterinary medicine that studies methods for the sanitary and hygienic examination of food products and technical raw materials of animal origin, while establishing rules for their veterinary and sanitary assessment, is veterinary-sanitary expertise. The fundamental aspect of this field is ensuring the veterinary-sanitary well-being of food products and preventing foodborne illnesses in humans. Internationally, this area is covered by the scientific discipline known as Food Safety.

Under modern conditions of rapid industrial development, contamination of soil, water, feed, and air – and consequently, crop and livestock products – has reached levels hazardous to both animal and human health. The sharp decline in environmental quality across nearly all regions of the world, driven by human activity, has significantly impacted the composition of consumed food. Potentially harmful chemical and biological substances enter and accumulate in food products throughout both the biological chain and the food supply chain, which includes all stages of agricultural production, storage, packaging, and labeling [3].

The issue of food safety is critical for many countries, both developing and developed, particularly in industrialized and environmentally disadvantaged regions. Numerous authors highlight this concern, emphasizing contaminants with carcinogenic properties.
