Here you find a retrospective monthly summary of relevant notifications about MRLs exceeded reported in the European Rapid Alert System (RASFF) supplemented with remarkable results found in our own laboratories in residue analysis.

Via this link you can download a table from the European Rapid alert system (RASSF) with important notifications from product category fruit & vegetables. We have selected only the messages that have been classified as “serious”. We have also added the listings for dried fruit.

We have changed the sorting of the table and list the notifications now in alphabetically order by products.
