Result of the QS residue monitoring fruit & vegetables 2021

Thumbs up

The conclusion in advance: "The results of the QS residue monitoring for fruit, vegetables and potatoes for the year 2021 are even better than in the previous year - throughout Europe" 

 

 

QS GmbH published the results in the period from 1.10.2020 to 31.9.2021 in the winter edition of the magazine "Qualitas". 16,725 results were submitted to the QS database and only less than 0.5% of the samples from 45 countries exceeded the legal limits. However, pesticide residues were detected in slightly more than 50% of the tests and more than half of the samples contained more than one active ingredient. The majority of the samples came from Germany (12,168/55)+), the Netherlands (1,972/12) and Belgium (1058/10). You can read the details of the evaluation at the link provided.

In addition, we offer special evaluations of the test reports according to the specifications of the large retail chains and discounters, as well as in the organic sector according to the specifications of the BNN e.V.
