Spain › Table grapes

Table grapes from Spain

How often official samples of table grapes grown in Spain break the EU maximum residue level for pesticides, by why the sample was taken.

Across 101 random market samples taken by 5 EU countries, 1.0% were above the limit (95% interval 0.2%–5.4%). The substance found above the limit most often was fenamidone (1 sample). UK supermarkets: 400 samples since 2020, 1 above the UK limit.

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 of 101 random samples were above the limit: 1.0% (95% interval 0.2%–5.4%). Samples taken by BE, DE, ES, FR, NL in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, pooled.

Also on file, never turned into a rate because inspectors chose them: 42 risk-based and 0 follow-up samples.
