Since pesticide use changes considerably over a three-year period, pesticides must be monitored in these foodstuffs over a series of three-year cycles so that consumer exposure and the application of EU legislation can be assessed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The control will cover 36 different foodstuffs, for a total of 683 samples to be analysed per year.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The targeted matrices will be as follows:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>For 2022<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Apples, strawberries, peaches (including nectarines and other hybrids), wine (red or white), lettuce, head cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, oats, barley, cow&#8217;s milk and pig fat.<br\/><strong><u>For 2023<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Oranges, pears, kiwis, cauliflowers, onions, carrots, potatoes, dried beans, rye, brown rice (husked rice), poultry fat and bovine liver.<br\/><strong><u>For 2024<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Table grapes, bananas, grapefruit, aubergines, broccoli, melons, cultivated mushrooms, sweet peppers\/sweet chillies, wheat, virgin olive oil, bovine fat and hen eggs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will find in Annex I part C of the regulation the list of molecules to be tested for by matrix. The following molecules have been added: aclonifen, cyantraniliprole, metaflumizone and sulfoxaflor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the sampling programme defined in point 5 of the regulation, each Member State will sample and analyse:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>In 2022<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 10 samples of baby food intended for infants and young children other than infant formula, follow-on formula and cereal-based baby food.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>In 2023<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> 5 samples of infant formula and 5 samples of follow-on formula.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>In 2024<\/u><\/strong>: 10 samples of processed cereal-based baby food.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note that your Phytocontrol laboratory is able to test for all the active substances included in this 2022, 2023 and 2024 control programme!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-b626b680-a0a0-4e42-960d-cf3c866646d8\">Need technical, regulatory or pricing information?
