National Milk Drug Residue Database
The National Milk Drug Residue Database is a voluntary industry reporting
program. Mandatory reporting is required by State regulatory agencies
under the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS).
Data are reported on the extent of the national testing activities,
the analytical methods used, the kind and extent of the animal drug
residues identified, and the amount of contaminated milk, including
whether it was disposed of properly for non-human use. The system
includes all milk, Grade A and non-Grade A, commonly known as
manufacturing grade. Data reported to the National Milk Drug
Residue Database are for educational and analytical purposes
and are not intended or suitable for regulatory follow-up.
