Hungarian 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（EU）建立了完备的立法框架，对植保产品中有效成分的审批、植保产品的使用以及食品中农药残留问题作出了规范。为切实保障消费者权益，欧盟（EC）第396/2005号法规设立了法定限量，即"最大残留限量（maximum residue levels，简称MRLs）"。针对全品类食品及各类农药，欧盟统一协调制定了MRL标准。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号法规要求各成员国开展抽检工作，确保流通于市场的食品符合法定限量要求。

若样本中未检出浓度达到或高于定量限（limit of quantification, LOQ）的分析物，则该样本被视为无可定量残留。定量限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通过可接受的精密度与准确度完成测定的最小浓度。

若样本中检出可定量的残留，但浓度处于法定许可范围内（即最大残留限量MRL以内或等于MRL），则该样本被归类为"残留浓度符合法定限量（低于或等于MRL）"。

若经测量得到的残留浓度明确超出法定限量，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）。当前行业通行做法是，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，需将分析测量的不确定度纳入考量范围。
