“…In turn, other authors indicated period, product (product category) and additional information ( Table 4 ). Some articles pointed out only particular pesticides without indication of the products: acephate, methamidophos and monocrotophos (in 2002–2003) [ 27 ], acetamiprid and imidacloprid (in 2012–2015) [ 28 ], acetamiprid, carbendazim, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos, dimethoate, formetanate and other pesticides (in 2015, notified mainly by Italy, France, Belgium and the Netherlands) [ 14 ], isofenphos-methyl and omethoate (in 2015) [ 2 ], chlorpyrifos (in 2016–2017) [ 29 ], and also boscalid, chlorpyrifos and tebuconazole in peaches and nectarines from Turkey [ 30 ] or carbendazim, cypermethrin, dimethoate, endosulfan and ethion [ 31 ].…”

“…The notification on pesticide residues in the RASFF is made when a substance in question was not approved or an MRL was exceeded (but for some notifications, values are not given or several values are given, making potential analysis problematic). In 2015, the number of notifications continued to decline slightly, which may be explained by the fact that the EU entry points strengthened border checks [ 14 ]. However, in 2020 the number of these notifications increased significantly.…”

Pesticides are commonly used to protect plants against various pests and to preserve crops, but their residues can be harmful for human health. They are the third most widely reported hazard category in the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). The purpose of the study was to identify the most frequently notified pesticides in the RASFF in 1981–2020, considering: year, notification type, product category, origin country, notifying country, notification basis, distribution status and action taken. The data from the RASFF database was processed using: filtering, transposition, pivot tables and then subjected to cluster analysis: joining (tree clustering) and two-way joining methods. Pesticides were most commonly reported in fruits and vegetables and herbs and spices following border controls and rejections. The products usually came from India or Turkey and were not placed on the market or were not distributed and then destroyed. The effectiveness of the European Union border posts in terms of hazards detection and mutual information is important from the point of view of protecting the internal market and ensuring public health. It is also necessary to increase the awareness of pesticide users through training and the activity of control authorities in the use of pesticides.
