Peppercorn (black, green and white) from India
How often official samples of peppercorn (black, green and white) grown in India break the EU maximum residue level for pesticides, by why the sample was taken.
In 2024, 0 of 42 EU border checks (0%) found a pesticide above the legal limit, while the pair was under increased EU checks (20% of consignments). There are only 2 random market samples, too few for a market rate.
EU border checks by year
| Year | Checks | Over the limit | Check frequency in force |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 20 | 0 of 20 | 20% (Annex II) |
| 2023 | 16 | 0 of 16 | 20% (Annex II) |
| 2024 | 42 | 0% | 20% (Annex II) |
Checks: consignments sampled at EU border posts under the increased-control regime of Reg. (EU) 2019/1793 and reported to EFSA by the member state that checked them. A percentage is shown only for years with at least 30 checks; below that, the count. "Within uncertainty": above the limit but compliant once the lab's measurement uncertainty is allowed for, not counted as over.
Random market samples
2 random samples (0 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: 3 risk-based and 12 follow-up samples.
