Abstract
Universally, today the ill effects of pesticides/insecticides in agricultural practices have been well realized due to which a certain percentage of health cautious human population has started to prefer the eco-friendly agricultural products inspite of its high cost. On the other side, majority of us consume protein-rich foods, mainly from animal origin, viz., meat from various origins (goat, sheep, birds, pigs, fish and seafood/shellfish), milk and eggs to obtain our nutritional requirements instantly. Food safety and its systematic distribution are now a days an issue of international concern. The negligence in such issues has resulted various serious consequences especially when the food is of animal origin.
