Defra have recently issued the annual summary of the work carried out by the Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF).
The Expert Committee is made up entirely of independent members with a wide range of expertise and advises the government on the pesticide residues in food monitoring programme.
This is the eleventh annual report from PRiF, which shows that out of 3530 samples collected from GB and NI, only 2.55% contained a residue over the MRL.
From 2021 onwards, the results of the pesticide testing programme have been published in the UK competent authorities for pesticide residues in food: annual report.
You can access the PRiF report here as well more about the PRiF here.
