The 2017 European Union report on pesticide residues in food
The latest in this series of annual reports describes in detail the official control activities carried out for pesticide residues by EU Member States, Iceland and Norway in 2017. Under Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Member States are requested to share the results of their official cont...

Overall, 95.9% of the 88,247 samples analysed fell within the legal limits (84,627, samples).

The dietary risk assessment indicated that, for the samples analysed, the probability of European citizens being exposed to pesticide residue levels that could lead to negative health outcomes is low.
