EU food safety and plant health import rules
Food must stay within EU maximum residue levels for pesticides and limits for contaminants such as aflatoxin. Most plants and plant products also need a phytosanitary certificate, and higher-risk products face extra border checks.
Who it affects
Exporters of food and plant products to the EU, and the growers and packhouses that supply them.
What it requires
- Pesticide residues within EU maximum residue levels
- Contaminants within EU limits
- Phytosanitary certificate where required
- Traceability one step back and one step forward
