Share of selected food types exceeding the MRL of pesticides in Europe 2015-2021

Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 11, 2023
A 2021 analysis of pesticide residue concentration in European food crops revealed that grapefruits had the highest percentage of samples with pesticide residue concentrations exceeding the maximum residue level (MRL) with 9.92 percent of samples exceeding this threshold. This comparison shows that for many food types in Europe, the share of samples with quantifiable residues exceeding the MRL has increased between 2015 and 2021.
