EFSA releases the latest edition of the annual EU report on pesticides in food

EFSA has released the latest edition of the annual EU report on pesticides in food

The Authority analysed the results of around 88,000 samples collected from the 28 EU Member States plus Iceland and Norway. The report revealed  that just under 96% of food samples were found to be free of pesticide residues or to contain traces that fall within legally permitted levels. 

The main findings can be explored by country and food product using EFSA’s specially developed data visualisation tool.
