Verified official aggregates · partial scope · manual snapshot
Why this evidence matters
- EU MACP is the EU's coordinated multiannual control programme: comparable programme-year aggregates for 2021–2024 let you benchmark what official monitoring finds across rotating commodity baskets.
- MRL exceedance and non-compliance after measurement uncertainty are reported as distinct outcomes — use both when calibrating your own sampling and supplier assurance expectations.
- Rotating baskets mean years are not directly comparable per commodity; these are programme aggregates, not toxicological risk or commodity-level trends.
MRL exceedance is not a toxicological risk estimate.
Non-compliance accounts for measurement uncertainty and is a subset of MRL exceedances, not an additional group. EU MACP does not represent all national programmes, all imports or European production.

Related context only — sources use different jurisdictions, periods, observation units; records are not matched. These links establish no shared incident, causality, equivalent denominator, supplier finding or calibrated trend. Destination read failures do not mean zero events.
EU MACP programme-year snapshots
Different sampled commodities each year; not a like-for-like food trend. Programme design and definitions may differ. No product-level comparison is established, including 2021 versus 2024.

Original 2024 snapshot remains preserved independently. Counts are transcribed from the official EFSA EU MACP dashboard; percentages here use exact sample counts. Annex II was verified as an enforcement workbook, not a complete sample denominator. Commodity CSV percentages are rounded and unique-sample denominators were not independently reconciled: commodity and country views are excluded. No concentration, detector, residue unit, MANCP or increased-import-control inference. Annex VIII was not downloaded. No automatic refresh; no EFSA affiliation or endorsement.
