Objective To investigate the current status of veterinary drug residues in eggs on sold in Banan District, Chongqing and assess the health risk of residues’ dietary intake residues. Methods In 2024, a total of 208 egg samples were randomly collected from markets and supermarkets in 10 towns and streets of Banan district. The residues of 15 kinds of veterinary drugs were detected using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The point assessment method was employed to calculate the daily estimated exposure and hazard quotient for dietary exposure risk assessment. Results The detection rate of veterinary drug residues in 208 samples of market eggs was 8.65% (18/208), with doxycycline showed the highest detection rate at 3.37% (7/208). The unqualified rate was 0.96% (2/208), with the unqualified samples mainly coming from unbranded bulk eggs sold in markets. The dietary exposure assessment revealed that the daily estimated exposure of veterinary drug residues ranged from 0.00013 to 0.03450 μg/(kg·bw·d), and the hazard quotient ranged from 0.00000 to 0.00872, significantly below the safety threshold. This indicates a low health risk associated with the intake of veterinary drug residues in eggs sold in the market. Conclusion Veterinary drug residues are detected in eggs sold in Banan District, Chongqing, but the residue is generally controllable and the health risk low. Special attention should be given to bulk and unbranded eggs, and standards for veterinary drug use and residue limits should be further refined.
