The review looks at the presence of authorized and unauthorized pharmacologically active substances and their residues in food. The data in the 2023 report came from the EU Member States, plus Iceland and Norway.
In 2023, the percentage of non-compliant samples was 0.11% (602 of 548,194 samples) overall.
For pigs, the percentage of non-compliant samples was 0.36% (126 of 318,953 samples).
EFSA’s report supports risk managers in the European Commission and in Member States to evaluate the effectiveness of control plans on pharmacologically active substances and their residues in limiting the presence of these substance groups in the EU food chain. It also helps determine follow up measures to further reduce non-compliance in subsequent years.
