Foods with pesticide residues on the Danish market
In 2023, pesticide residues were found in 80% of all samples of conventionally grown fruit, in 42% of all samples of conventionally grown vegetables, and in 27% of conventionally grown cereal products. But 98% of all samples of fruit, vegetables, and cereal products comply with the established limits for pesticides in food. This is shown in the annual pesticide report from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the DTU Food Institute.
