Annual monitoring plan to verify the conformity with regulations
Mérieux NutriSciences_Hazard

More than five thousand samples from plant foods (fruits, vegetables, cereals, spices, etc.) put on the French market were analyzed.
2,945 had a quantifiable pesticide residue content. For 354 of them, the DGCCRF (Direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des frauds) found a residual rate higher than the maximum authorized limit (LMR) and 197 were declared non-compliant.

The rate of non-compliance with European regulations is 2.1%.
Of the 2,661 foodstuffs of French origin controlled by the DGCCRF in 2016, 1.9% had traces of active substances whose use is not authorized in France. 
Note that for products subject to official control on imports (R 669/2009 modified) the rate of non-compliance is high: 10.5%.
