New EU Regulation governing residue monitoring 2016 – 2018

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/595 has established the duties and priorities of the EU Member States regarding the routine inspection of foods for pesticides residues.

 

This Regulation shall enter into force on 01/01/2016.

 

The following samples of products of plant origin shall be the focus for 2016:

 

  • Apples
  • Head cabbage
  • Leeks
  • Lettuce
  • Peaches/nectarines
  • Rye grains
  • Strawberries
  • Tomatoes
  • Wine (white or red) from grapes.

 

In the case of animal products, particular attention shall be paid to the chlorinated, fat-soluble pesticides of cow’s milk and pig fat.

 

The product groups shall be varied for the following years. We will inform you of this promptly.

 

Here you can see the pesticides being researched as part of the 2016 EU monitoring for products of plant origin.
