Results from national testing programs on the occurrence of chemical contaminants in food and feed - Norway

In the framework of Articles 23 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 EFSA has received from the European Commission a mandate (M-2010-0374) to collect all available data on the occurrence of chemical contaminants in food and feed. These data are used in EFSA’s scientific opinions and reports on contaminants in food and feed.   The presence of unauthorised substances or chemical contaminants in food may pose a risk factor for public health and can cause a negative impact on the quality of food.  Commission Recommendations and Regulations on occurrence monitoring are in place for several contaminants of interest, some of which can be found here below:   <ul> <li>Commission Regulation (EU) 625/2017, on the application of food and feed law</li> <li>Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/931</li> <li>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/932</li> <li>Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915, on maximum levels for certain contaminants in food and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006</li> </ul> These datasets contain the results of sampling that was designed according to national testing programs for a variety of contaminants in food and feed, as reported under the Chemical Monitoring Data Collection 2024, and 2023, split by sampling year (data element ‘sampY’).  More details are available in last year's finalised call for data ‘<a href="https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/call/annual-call-continuous-collection-chemical-contaminants-occurrence-data-food-and-feed">Annual call for continuous collection of chemical contaminants occurrence data in food and feed | EFSA</a>’.

Cyprus results from the monitoring of pesticide residues in food

This dataset contains the analytical results of pesticide residues measured in the food products analysed by the national competent authorities. Pesticide residues resulting from the use of plant protection products on crops that are used for food or feed production may pose a risk factor for public health. For this reason, a comprehensive legislative framework has been established in the European Union (EU), which defines rules for the approval of active substances used in plant protection products, the use of plant protection products and for pesticide residues in food. In order to ensure a high level of consumer protection, legal limits, so called “maximum residue levels” or briefly “MRLs”, are established in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EU-harmonised MRLs are set for all pesticides covering all types of food products. A default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg is applicable for pesticides not explicitly mentioned in the MRL legislation. Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 imposes on Member States the obligation to carry out controls to ensure that food placed on the market is compliant with the legal limits. A sample is considered free of quantifiable residues if the analytes were not present in concentrations at or above the limit of quantification (LOQ). The LOQ is the smallest concentration of an analyte that can be quantified with the analytical method used to analyse the sample. It is commonly defined as the minimum concentration of the analyte in the test sample that can be determined with acceptable precision and accuracy. If a sample is contains quantifiable residues but within the legally permitted limit (maximum residue level, MRL), it is described as a sample  with quantified residue levels within the legal limits (below or at the MRL) A sample is considered non-compliant with the legal limit (MRL), if the measured residue concentrations clearly exceed the legal limits, taking into account the measurement uncertainty. It is current practice that the uncertainty of the analytical measurement is taken into account before legal or administrative sanctions are imposed on food business operators for infringement of the MRL legislation.   REPORTING AUTHORITIES CONTRIBUTING TO EACH DATA COLLECTION: MOPER_2023 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2022 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2021 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2020 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2019 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2018 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2017 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2016 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2015 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2014 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2013 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2012 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory MOPER_2011 - Ministry of Health - State General Laboratory   We are seeking feedback on our open data please complete the survey at the link below: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/9344dfa0-f384-cb72-65f6-6c187a6d0f14

It is current practice that the uncertainty of the analytical measurement is taken into account before legal or administrative sanctions are imposed on food business operators for infringement of the MRL legislation.   REPORTING AUTHORITIES CONTRIBUTING TO EACH DATA COLLECTION: MOPER_2023 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2022 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2021 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2020 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2019 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2018 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2017 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2016 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2015 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2014 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2013 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2012 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain MOPER_2011 - Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Risk Assesment Center on Food Chain   We are seeking feedback on our open data please complete the survey at the link below: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/9344dfa0-f384-cb72-65f6-6c187a6d0f14

Austrian results from the monitoring of pesticide residues in food

This dataset contains the analytical results of pesticide residues measured in the food products analysed by the national competent authorities. Pesticide residues resulting from the use of plant protection products on crops that are used for food or feed production may pose a risk factor for public health. For this reason, a comprehensive legislative framework has been established in the European Union (EU), which defines rules for the approval of active substances used in plant protection products, the use of plant protection products and for pesticide residues in food. In order to ensure a high level of consumer protection, legal limits, so called “maximum residue levels” or briefly “MRLs”, are established in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EU-harmonised MRLs are set for all pesticides covering all types of food products. A default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg is applicable for pesticides not explicitly mentioned in the MRL legislation. Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 imposes on Member States the obligation to carry out controls to ensure that food placed on the market is compliant with the legal limits. A sample is considered free of quantifiable residues if the analytes were not present in concentrations at or above the limit of quantification (LOQ). The LOQ is the smallest concentration of an analyte that can be quantified with the analytical method used to analyse the sample. It is commonly defined as the minimum concentration of the analyte in the test sample that can be determined with acceptable precision and accuracy. If a sample is contains quantifiable residues but within the legally permitted limit (maximum residue level, MRL), it is described as a sample  with quantified residue levels within the legal limits (below or at the MRL) A sample is considered non-compliant with the legal limit (MRL), if the measured residue concentrations clearly exceed the legal limits, taking into account the measurement uncertainty.
