Here you find a retrospective monthly summary of relevant notifications about MRLs exceeded reported in the European Rapid Alert System (RASFF).
Notification from RASFF 10/01 – 10/31/2023
Via this you can download a table from the European Rapid alert system (RASFF) with important notifications from product category fruit & vegetables.
Our tip: Be careful with imports from Turkey and Egypt. In vine leaves from Egypt, the residue load is currently very high in terms of the number of active substances detected and maximum levels exceeded. Note that the EU import controls are only spot checks.
