French beans (with pods) from Guatemala
How often official samples of french beans (with pods) grown in Guatemala break the EU maximum residue level for pesticides, by why the sample was taken.

Substances found above the limit
| Substance | Where found | Samples |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorothalonil | 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
1 random sample (1 over the limit). That is too few for a market rate: one is shown from 30.
