New data out of the European Union (EU) shows that food consumed in that region is still mostly pesticide-free.
A monitoring report published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has found that foods tested primarily contain pesticide residues that fall within the region’s legal limits--more than 97 percent of them, to be exact. Over half (53 percent) were completely free of quantifiable pesticide residues. These figures are from samples collected across the EU in 2015.
