Bosnia and Herzegovina 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. The chemical monitoring data collected and published by EFSA include the analytical results provided by EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and three pre-accession countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia. 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 <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_2020 - Food Safety Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina MOPER_2019 - Food Safety Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina MOPER_2018 - Food Safety Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina MOPER_2017 - Food Safety Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina <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>本数据集收录了各国主管部门对食品开展检测后得到的农药残留分析结果。用于粮食或饲料生产的作物施用植物保护产品后产生的农药残留，可能对公众健康构成风险因素。为此，欧盟（European Union，EU）建立了完备的立法框架，对植物保护产品所用活性物质的审批、植物保护产品的使用以及食品中的农药残留作出规范。为保障高水平的消费者保护，欧盟《(EC)第396/2005号条例》设立了法定限值，即最大残留限量（Maximum Residue Levels，以下简称MRLs）。欧盟统一的MRLs适用于覆盖所有食品品类的各类农药。对于MRL法规中未明确列明的农药，适用0.01 mg/kg的默认MRL。《(EC)第396/2005号条例》要求欧盟成员国履行检测义务，确保投放市场的食品符合法定限值要求。欧洲食品安全局（European Food Safety Authority，EFSA）收集并发布的化学监测数据，涵盖了欧盟成员国、冰岛、挪威以及三个入盟候选国——波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、黑山以及北马其顿提供的分析结果。若分析物的浓度未达到或超过定量限（Limit of Quantification，LOQ），则该样品被视为**无定量检出残留**。定量限（LOQ）是指采用本次检测所用分析方法可实现定量检测的分析物最低浓度，通常定义为在检测样品中，可通过可接受的精密度与准确度完成测定的分析物最低浓度。若样品**检出定量残留**且残留浓度处于法定允许限值（最大残留限量，MRL）范围内，则该样品被描述为残留定量值符合法定限值（低于或等于MRL）的样品。若考虑测量不确定度后，实测残留浓度显著超出法定限值（MRL），则该样品被视为**不符合合规要求**。当前行业惯例为：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，需考量分析测量的不确定度。**各数据采集批次的报送机构：** MOPER_2020 —— 波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那食品安全局 MOPER_2019 —— 波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那食品安全局 MOPER_2018 —— 波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那食品安全局 MOPER_2017 —— 波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那食品安全局 **诚邀您对本开放数据集提出反馈，请通过以下链接完成问卷：**<br> https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/9344dfa0-f384-cb72-65f6-6c187a6d0f14
