EFSA published its 2020 EU report on pesticide residue levels in food, which is conducted annually and is carried out across EU Member States, Iceland, and Norway.
The report covers over 88,000 food samples collected in the EU in 2020 and summarizes the results of the EU-coordinated multiannual control program (EU MACP) and national control programs (MANCP).
The results show that 94.9% of samples fell within legally permitted levels. Furthermore, as part of the analysis of the results, a dietary risk assessment had been carried out, which suggests that the food commodities analysed in 2020 are unlikely to pose a concern for consumer health.
Impulse previously reported that EU set to approve emission-cutting feed additive.
