Detection of pesticides in black-eyed peas - product recall

Recently, a food product (grapes) was recalled due to exceeding the limit value of a pesticide. In this case, the insecticide "Chlorpyrifos" was detected above the legal limit.

The legal limits (maximum residue levels) for pesticides in food are regulated EU-wide in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Food containing prohibited pesticides or pesticides above the limit values are not marketable in the EU.

Further information from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) can be found here. 

In our Tentamus laboratories, we regularly conduct analyses for pesticide residues. We provide you with fast and reliable results.

Our customer advisors are always happy to answer your questions.
