Carbadox is a veterinary drug that combats bacterial infection in swine, particularly swine dysentery. In early 2004, it was banned by the Canadian government as a livestock feed additive and for human consumption, since it is carcinogenic and induces birth defects, as was shown in animal experiments.^[1] The European Union also forbids the use of carbadox at any level.^[2] It is approved in the United States for use in swine for up to 42 days before slaughter,^[3] but in 2016, the United States Food and Drug Administration moved to ban its use in pork, citing a potential cancer risk to humans.^[4] Australia forbids the use of carbadox in food producing animals.^[5]
