What is the 'Annual Pesticide Residues Report'?

The Annual Pesticide Residue Report is established by the European Commission and reports on residues contained in food in all EU Member States. Based on scientific criteria, it tests a food basket composed of the most commonly eaten commodities in Europe. While some core foods are tested each year, the rest of these vary. (In the 2006 report, the following 8 commodities have been tested: aubergines, bananas, cauliflower, grapes, orange juice, peas (fresh/frozen, without pod), peppers (sweet) and wheat.)
