India › Rice grain, long-grain
Rice grain, long-grain from India
How often official samples of rice grain, long-grain grown in India break the EU maximum residue level for pesticides, by why the sample was taken.
EU border posts checked 21 consignments in 3 years, too few in any one year for a rate. Across 31 random market samples taken by 1 EU country, 0% were above the limit (95% interval 0%–11%). The substance found above the limit most often was tricyclazole (2 samples).
EU border checks by year
| Year | Checks | Over the limit | Check frequency in force |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 17 | 2 of 17 | 5% (Annex I) |
| 2023 | 2 | 0 of 2 | 5% (Annex I) → 10% (Annex I) |
| 2024 | 2 | 0 of 2 | 10% (Annex I) |
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.
Substances found above the limit
| Substance | Where found | Samples |
|---|---|---|
| Tricyclazole | border checks | 2 |
| Thiamethoxam | border checks | 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
0 of 31 random samples were above the limit: 0% (95% interval 0%–11%). Samples taken by FR in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, pooled.
Also on file, never turned into a rate because inspectors chose them: 152 risk-based and 19 follow-up samples.
