Table grapes from Egypt
How often official samples of table grapes grown in Egypt break the EU maximum residue level for pesticides, by why the sample was taken.
Across 45 random market samples taken by 3 EU countries, 0% were above the limit (95% interval 0%–7.9%). UK supermarkets: 188 samples since 2020, 0 above the UK limit.
Random market samples
0 of 45 random samples were above the limit: 0% (95% interval 0%–7.9%). Samples taken by DE, FR, NL in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, pooled.
Also on file, never turned into a rate because inspectors chose them: 50 risk-based and 1 follow-up samples.
