Carbadox is a 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] Australia also forbids the use of Carbadox for Food Producing Animals.^[4]
