Status report on chemical pesticides for fruit and vegetables

For the third time REWE Group has published a comprehensive Status report on chemical pesticides for fruit and vegetables. The independent Austrian environmental organisation GLOBAL 2000 was commissioned with the analysis and evaluation of the data gathered. The survey comes to the conclusion that the residue load of pesticides in fruits and vegetables has been reduced by almost 50 per cent since 2007. The so-called acute risk was more than halved in comparison with the previous year and is now only at 12 per cent of the level of the comparison year 2007. In the years to come the company wants to go on to systematically reduce the residue loads from pesticides.
