Pesticide regulations undoubtedly represent the most delicate and sensitive issue for manufacturers, large and medium-sized retailers (GMS), as well as importers. Indeed, non-compliance with these standards can lead to the complete blockage of a commodity, prompt the immediate withdrawal of the product from the market, or even pose a significant health risk to consumers.

Here is in detail what the European Union actually requires.

What are MRLs?

The Maximum Residue Limits correspond to the highest level legally allowed for the presence of a pesticide in a food product intended for consumption. These limits are established to ensure the health safety of consumers and to control the quality of marketed food.

For the vanilla:

→ thresholds very low
→ strict controls in Europe
→ importer's responsibility

Why is vanilla considered a risky product?

• Farming practices vary by region
• Handcrafted, non-mechanized cultivation
• Traditional drying
• Risk of cross-contamination
