We tested food for pesticide residues. The maximum levels were exceeded in 10 of 191 samples.

We tested plant and animal foods as part of a uniform EU-wide control program. The specified limits were complied with in almost 95 percent of all samples. In grapefruits (4 x), melons (2 x), cultivated mushrooms (2 x), melanzani (1 x) and table grapes (1 x), we detected residue levels above the limits. We had to evaluate the table grapes as harmful to health. In the Austrian foodstuffs, the limit values were not exceeded.
