Abstract

Most agricultural crops are treated several times with different types of pesticides during cultivation and it is therefore very likely that pesticide residues remain on the treated agricultural crops. Pesticides are therefore a very important group of chemical compounds that need to be controlled, mainly because of their high toxicity and widespread use in the production of agricultural
products. The most commonly used herbicide is glyphosate. To ensure a high level of consumer protection, legal limits or maximum residue levels have been set in Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) publishes an
annual report that provides an overview of the official monitoring of pesticide residues in the European Union Member States, Iceland and Norway. This paper summarises the data from EFSA's annual reports from 2007 to 2022, referring to data related to the best-selling herbicide glyphosate.
