Luxembourg 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 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2017 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2016 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2015 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2014 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2013 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2012 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health MOPER_2011 - Food safety Service - Ministry of Health <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>本数据集收录了国家主管部门对食品开展分析检测所得的农药残留检测结果。为食品或饲料生产所种植的作物在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（EU）建立了完善的立法框架，对植物保护产品中有效成分的审批、植物保护产品的使用以及食品中农药残留管理制定了相关规则。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，简称MRLs）**。针对覆盖所有食品品类的各类农药，均设定了欧盟统一协调的最大残留限量。对于未在MRL相关法规中明确列明的农药，适用0.01 mg/kg的默认最大残留限量。《（EC）第396/2005号条例》要求各成员国履行检测义务，确保投放市场的食品符合法定限值要求。若待测物的浓度未达到**定量限（Limit of Quantification，简称LOQ）**及以上，则该样品被视为**无定量残留**。定量限是指通过本次分析所用检测方法可对待测物进行定量检测的最低浓度，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**含有定量残留**且残留水平处于法定允许范围内（即最大残留限量MRL以内或等于MRL），则归类为“残留定量值符合法定限值”的样品。若经测量的残留浓度在考虑测量不确定度后明显超出法定限值（MRL），则该样品被视为**不符合**法定限值要求。当前行业通行做法是，在对违反MRL法规的食品经营者实施法律或行政处罚前，需将分析检测的测量不确定度纳入考量范围。**参与本次数据采集的报告机构：** MOPER_2018 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2017 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2016 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2015 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2014 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2013 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2012 - 食品安全署 卫生部 MOPER_2011 - 食品安全署 卫生部 **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
