Based on the results of testing more than 125,000 food samples collected across Europe, compliance with EU pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs) remains high, reported the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The findings are consistent with those of previous years.
The data forEFSA’s report came from three control programs: EU-coordinated sampling providing a representative picture of the EU market, national controls carried out by authorities, and sampling in relation to increased border controls.
