The data shows the trend in the proportion of inspected foodstuffs that exceeds the maximum residue levels. The proportion is calculated as the average of the proportion that exceeds the MRL for organic and non-organic fruit, vegetables, cereals (grains, rice and maize), baby food, processed plant-based foods and animal foods. The main emphasis of the inspections is on analysis of fruit and vegetables, which means that most of the foods inspected are within the groups where the likelihood of finding residues is greatest and where the residual content contributes significantly to the population’s exposure to pesticide residues through the diet.
