Cover Story: In review of the voluntary “Antibiotic free” claim on meat labels, new tools are needed to ensure meat chain integrity, given that the definition of novel attributes may facilitate food fraud. This study aims to investigate the changes in the metabolite levels in pigs’ livers after an antibiotic treatment using an untargeted NMR-based metabolomics approach. The results highlight the feasibility of NMR-based metabolomics coupled with chemometric techniques to detect metabolomic fingerprints useful for the discrimination of pigs’ livers after an antibiotic treatment. Also, the differential accumulation of polar metabolites—mainly Carbohydrate and Amino Acids—as well as lipid molecules were discussed for their potential discriminating role in pigs. View this paper
