Romanian results from the monitoring of pesticide residues in food

This dataset contains the analytical results of pesticide residues measured in the food products analysed by the national competent authorities. Pesticide residues resulting from the use of plant protection products on crops that are used for food or feed production may pose a risk factor for public health. For this reason, a comprehensive legislative framework has been established in the European Union (EU), which defines rules for the approval of active substances used in plant protection products, the use of plant protection products and for pesticide residues in food. In order to ensure a high level of consumer protection, legal limits, so called “maximum residue levels” or briefly “MRLs”, are established in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EU-harmonised MRLs are set for all pesticides covering all types of food products. A default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg is applicable for pesticides not explicitly mentioned in the MRL legislation. Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 imposes on Member States the obligation to carry out controls to ensure that food placed on the market is compliant with the legal limits. A sample is considered <strong>free of quantifiable residues</strong> if the analytes were not present in concentrations at or above the limit of quantification (LOQ). The LOQ is the smallest concentration of an analyte that can be quantified with the analytical method used to analyse the sample. It is commonly defined as the minimum concentration of the analyte in the test sample that can be determined with acceptable precision and accuracy. If a sample is <strong>contains quantifiable residues</strong> but within the legally permitted limit (maximum residue level, MRL), it is described as a sample with quantified residue levels within the legal limits (below or at the MRL) A sample is considered <strong>non-compliant</strong> with the legal limit (MRL), if the measured residue concentrations clearly exceed the legal limits, taking into account the measurement uncertainty. It is current practice that the uncertainty of the analytical measurement is taken into account before legal or administrative sanctions are imposed on food business operators for infringement of the MRL legislation. <strong>REPORTING AUTHORITIES CONTRIBUTING TO EACH DATA COLLECTION:</strong> MOPER_2018 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2017 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2016 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2015 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2014 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2013 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2012 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority MOPER_2011 - National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority <strong>We are seeking feedback on our open data please complete the survey at the link below:<br> https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/9344dfa0-f384-cb72-65f6-6c187a6d0f14</strong>本数据集收录了由国家主管部门开展检测分析所得的食品中农药残留的分析结果。用于食品或饲料生产的作物在施用植物保护产品（plant protection products）后产生的农药残留，可能对公众健康构成风险因素。为此，欧盟（European Union, EU）建立了全面的立法框架，对植物保护产品中使用的活性物质的审批、植物保护产品的使用以及食品中的农药残留制定了规范。为保障高水平的消费者保护，欧盟（EC）第396/2005号法规确立了法定限值，即所谓的“最大残留限量（Maximum Residue Levels, MRLs）”，简称“MRLs”。欧盟统一的MRL适用于覆盖所有食品类别的全部农药。对于未在MRL相关法规中明确列明的农药，默认适用0.01 mg/kg的残留限量。欧盟（EC）第396/2005号法规要求各成员国承担检测义务，确保投放市场的食品符合法定限值。若待测物的浓度未达到定量限（Limit of Quantification, LOQ）及以上，则该样品被视为<strong>无定量残留</strong>。LOQ指采用本次样品分析所用分析方法可实现定量检测的待测物最低浓度，通常定义为测试样品中待测物可通过可接受的精密度与准确度完成测定的最低浓度。若样品含有可定量检测的残留，且其浓度处于法定允许限值（最大残留限量，即MRL）范围内，则将其描述为残留定量值符合法定限值（低于或等于MRL）的样品。若测得的残留浓度显著超出法定限值（MRL），且已考量分析测量不确定度，则该样品被视为<strong>不符合</strong>法定限值。当前通行做法是，在对食品经营者违反MRL法规的行为实施法律或行政处罚前，需纳入分析测量不确定度进行评估。<strong>各数据采集工作的参与报告机构：</strong> MOPER_2018 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2017 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2016 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2015 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2014 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2013 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2012 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 MOPER_2011 - 国家卫生兽医与食品安全局 <strong>我们诚邀您对本开放数据提出反馈，请通过以下链接完成调查问卷：<br> https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/9344dfa0-f384-cb72-65f6-6c187a6d0f14</strong>
