Summary
Underneath European Union laws (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), EFSA is to offer an annual report assessing the pesticide residue ranges in meals on the European market. In 2021, 96.1% of the general 87,863 samples analysed fell beneath the utmost residue stage (MRL), 3.9% exceeded this stage, of which 2.5% had been non‐compliant, i.e. samples exceeding the MRL after accounting for the measurement uncertainty. For the EU‐coordinated multiannual management programme subset, 13,845 samples had been analysed of which 2.1% exceeded the MRL and 1.3% had been non‐compliant. To evaluate acute and power threat to shopper well being, dietary publicity to pesticide residues was estimated and in contrast with out there well being‐primarily based steerage values (HBGVs). A brand new pilot methodology primarily based on probabilistic evaluation was launched to offer the chance of topics being expose to an exceedance of the HBGV. Suggestions to threat supervisor are given to extend the effectiveness of European management techniques and to make sure a excessive stage of shopper safety all through the EU.
