Pesticide residues
Residues of plant protection products above the legal maximum level, or of substances that are not authorised in the EU — frequently found in imported fruit, vegetables, herbs and tea.
What it can cause
Exceedances usually pose a risk only after repeated exposure; some substances can cause acute effects at high levels.
What to do
Follow the measures described in the alert. Washing and peeling reduce, but do not remove, residues.
