Beans (dry) and similar from Argentina
How often official samples of beans (dry) and similar grown in Argentina break the EU maximum residue level for pesticides, by why the sample was taken.
There are only 13 random market samples, too few for a market rate. The substance found above the limit most often was haloxyfop (1 sample). UK supermarkets: 19 samples since 2023, 1 above the UK limit.
Substances found above the limit
| Substance | Where found | Samples |
|---|---|---|
| Haloxyfop | random samples | 1 |
The limit applied is the one the lab reported at the time of sampling. Limits change; check the current value in the EU Pesticides Database.
Random market samples
13 random samples (1 over the limit). That is too few for a market rate: one is shown from 30.
Also on file, never turned into a rate because inspectors chose them: 18 risk-based and 1 follow-up samples.
