Food Safety and Dietary Risk Assessment

The risk assessment of pesticide residues in food is a key element of the EU regulatory framework for plant protection products. This process involves various complexities, from data collection and evaluation to the implementation of new guidance as well as the application and authorisation procedures. To successfully navigate these challenges, it is essential to stay informed about all new developments.
