PESTICIDE RESIDUE CONTROL RESULTS

NATIONAL SUMMARY REPORT

Country: BELGIUM

Year: 2014

National competent authority/organisation:

FEDERAL AGENCY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE FOOD CHAIN (FASFC)

1. Country: Belgium

1.1. Objective and design of the national control programme

The use of plant protection products during the production of fruit, vegetables and cereals can lead

to the presence of residues in food and feed. Maximum residue levels (MRL) are set in the European

legislation1 in order to check the good use of plant protection products (use of authorised products

according to their authorization) and to protect the consumers. Food or feed which do not comply

with the MRL cannot be put on the market. An MRL exceeding content is the sign of incorrect use of

a plant protection product but does not necessarily involve a risk for the health of consumers.

The approach used by the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) for the control of

pesticide residues is risk based. The programme has been drawn up following the general statistical

approach developed within the FASFC2. Several factors have been taken into account: the toxicity of

the active substances, food consumption statistics, food commodities with a high residues/non-

compliance rate in previous monitoring years, origin of food (domestic, EU or third country), RASFF

notifications and all other useful information.

All groups of fruits and vegetables are included in the programme and a rotation programme has

been applied for less important commodities. The coordinated control programme3 of the European

Commission and some targeted sampling (mainly targeted sampling at border controls according to

Regulation 669/20094) have been also included in the national programme.

Adjustments to the programme can be made in the course of the year so that emerging problems

can be dealt with.

The FASFC determines the target pesticides for each sample type according to a risk based approach.

The criteria considered are active substances authorised in Belgium, results of previous control

programmes in Belgium and other Member States, RASFF messages and analytical possibilities.

Sampling is done in accordance with Directive 2002/63/EC5 that has been implemented in Belgian

legislation. Samples are analysed in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories by means of multi-residues

and single-residues methods which in 2014 allowed the detection of more than 550 pesticide

residues.

1.2. Key findings, interpretation of the results and comparability with the previous year results

In 2014, a total number of 3823 samples of fruits, vegetables, cereals, animal products and processed

products (including baby food) were taken by the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain

(FASFC) and analysed for the presence of pesticide residues. The products analysed were of Belgian

origin (39%), EU origin (18%), non-EU origin (35%) and unknown origin (8%).

95,5% of the samples analysed were compliant with the pesticide residues legislation. Table 1

summarises the results per groups of products with respect to the sampling strategy.

The rate of non-compliances in fruit, vegetables, cereals and other products of plant origin is

higher than in 2013 (+1,1%).

Graph 1: overview of the evolution of the results for fruit, vegetables, cereals & other products of

plant origin from 2010 to 2014 (surveillance samples)

As in previous years, more MRL violations were proportionally observed in non-EU products

(5,1%) than in products grown in the EU (1,1%) (see table A0 of the report).

Passion fruits, pitayas, tea & chilli-peppers imported from third countries showed the highest

rate of non compliance. Main non compliances in Belgian products were observed in turnips,

celeries and parsley (see also table 2).

Three samples of babyfood (3,3% of the samples analysed) contained a residue of a disinfectant

above the MRL of 0,01 mg/kg specified in the specific legislation on babyfood.

All the animal and processed products were compliant.

The list of MRL exceedances can be found in table D of the summary report.

Enforcement sampling

804 enforcement samples were analysed in the case of suspicion about the non compliance of a

product with EU MRLs. These products were mainly targeted products analysed according to

Regulation 669/2009 (products coming mainly from Thailand, the Dominican Republic, Egypt and

China) and products analysed within the context of following up of violations found previously.

85,7% were compliant with the legislation.

Main MRL violations were observed in products from The Dominican Republic, Cambodia and

Uganda (see table A5 of the report).

plant origin from 2010 to 2013 (enforcement samples)

1.3. Non-compliant samples: possible reasons, ARfD exceedances and actions taken

When non-compliant samples are identified, the batch is seized, if available, and prevented from

entering the market. An assessment of the risk for consumers is performed on all non-compliant

samples and the appropriate measures such as recall and RASFF notification are taken11 according to

the risk of the non compliant product for the consumer.

Follow-up action is taken to verify the violation and to identify its cause. When non-compliant

samples are identified, the producer or importer is subject to enhanced control and an official report

is drawn up and sent to the legal department of the FASFC which proposes a fine. If the fine is not

paid, or in case of repeated offences, the matter is taken to court.

The reason of MRL violations is investigated as far as possible in Belgian products (table 2). Non compliances in imported products cannot be investigated but are mainly related to the use of plant protection products which are not authorized in the EU and for which no import tolerances were set.

Fifty-four RASFF messages were issued by Belgium in 2014 for pesticide residues in food and feed12 in the framework of the control plan of the FASFC or autocontrols carried out by business operators.

1.5. Processing factors

Processing factors are applied when necessary to verify compliance of processed products with EU MRLs according to article 20 of Regulation 396/2005. Processing factors were mainly applied to cover the dehydratation of herbs and fruits which were part of tea and infusions.

1.6. Additional information

In 2014, 19 organic food and feed products were analysed by the FASFC. Pesticide residues were

detected in three samples : potatoes (chlorpropham), rice (deltamethrin) and a feed product

(chlorpropham). All of them complied with the MRL set in Regulation 396/2005.
