Pesticide residues found on chicken fresh meat
0% of standard-grown samples had at least one detected residue. Standard-grown means samples not identified as organic (called conventional in the source data). Detection does not, by itself, mean the food was unsafe.

Residue detail
What was found on chicken fresh meat?
The most frequently detected residues across all 123 samples. This is the complete available table for this monitoring entry.
123samples checked
No quantified residues were recorded for this food.
“Higher result” is an approximate 95th-percentile observed concentration, not a safety threshold. Amounts of different pesticides should not be added together or compared directly. Functional types describe their usual agricultural role; they are not hazard or toxicity rankings.
ADI and ARfD are intake reference values, not limits for one food sample. A personal assessment would also require consumption, body-weight and wider exposure data. Source programmes report legal Maximum Residue Level results separately.
What this tells you
A monitoring result, not a verdict.
EFSA consolidates official control results reported by national authorities; sampling strategies and food coverage differ between countries. It is not a test of every chicken fresh meat product sold in Netherlands. This entry’s latest included calendar year release is from 2024.
Published MRLs or tolerances are regulatory limits associated with pesticide use. Consumer-risk assessment is a separate process.
Broader sample coverage. At least 50 samples: broader monitoring coverage, but still targeted rather than random.

How to read these chicken fresh meat results
Were pesticide residues detected on chicken fresh meat?
0% of 123 standard-grown samples in the 2024 EFSA consolidated official controls dataset had at least one quantified residue.
Does that mean chicken fresh meat were unsafe?
No. A laboratory detection is not, by itself, a consumer-risk finding. Regulators assess dietary risk separately.
Should I buy organic chicken fresh meat?
There were only 0 organic samples, so Residue Lens withholds the comparison.
