Annual Reports - Pesticide Residues in Food

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) publishes annual reports on pesticide residue levels in food and feed, as required under Article 32 of Regulation (EC) 396/2005 (on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed). These reports are based on information provided by the EU Member States and Iceland and Norway, and include comprehensive results from Ireland’s national pesticide residues monitoring programme.
