Objective To understand the levels of veterinary drug residues in chickens and eggs in the diet of Xinjiang residents, and analyze and assess the health risks associated with exposure to veterinary drug residues in this region. Methods Veterinary drug residues were detected in chicken and egg samples from supermarkets and farmers’ markets in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2021 to 2023 by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and then combined with the data on the food intake of the residents of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and then assessed the risk of dietary exposure by point assessment method. Results The detection rate of 19 kinds of veterinary drug residues in chicken and egg samples in Xinjiang from 2021 to 2023 was 23.3% (63/270), and the exceedance rate was 6.3% (17/270), and the difference in the detection rate of florfenicol was statistically significant by chi-square test (P=0.002), and the differences in detection and exceedance rates in the Northern, Southern and Eastern regions of Xinjiang were not statistically significant. The food safety index for chicken meat in Xinjiang were much smaller than 1, and the food safety index for veterinary drug residues in eggs were all less than 1, but the food safety index for ofloxacin, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, diclazuril and florfenicolide were much greater than 1. Conclusion The risk of dietary exposure to veterinary drug residues for chicken meats and eggs in Xinjiang is small and in the controllable range.
