Czech Republic 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 free of quantifiable residues 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 contains quantifiable residues 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 non-compliant 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.

本数据集收录了由国家主管部门分析检测的食品中农药残留的分析结果。用于食品或饲料生产的农作物在使用植保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）已建立完善的立法框架，明确了植保产品中有效成分的审批规则、植保产品的使用规范以及食品中农药残留的管理要求。为保障高水平的消费者保护，欧盟《EC第396/2005号条例》确立了法定限量，即“最大残留限量（maximum residue levels, MRLs）”，简称“MRLs”。欧盟统一的MRL标准覆盖所有农药品类与各类食品。对于未在MRL法规中明确列明的农药，默认适用0.01 mg/kg的残留限量。《EC第396/2005号条例》要求各成员国履行检测义务，确保上市食品符合法定残留限量要求。

若样本中的分析物浓度未达到或超过定量限（limit of quantification, LOQ），则该样本被视为未检出可定量的农药残留。LOQ指采用指定分析方法可对分析物进行定量检测的最低浓度，通常定义为待测样本中分析物可被以可接受的精密度与准确度检出的最低浓度。

若样本中检出可定量的农药残留，且其浓度处于法定许可范围内（即低于或等于最大残留限量MRL），则该样本被归类为“残留量符合法定限量（低于或等于MRL）”样本。

若经测量的残留浓度显著超出法定限量，且已考量分析测量的不确定度，则该样本被视为不符合法定限量（MRL）。当前通行做法为，在对食品生产经营者因违反MRL法规实施法律或行政处罚前，需充分考量分析测量的不确定度。
