Pesticide Residues Committee (PRC) Reports
The detailed results of the surveillance programme for any year are published in our Quarterly Reports four times a year, each Report covering samples taken in each quarter of that year.

We then issue an Annual Report (usually in September in the following year) that brings together the complete results for the surveillance programme for the previous year and that have already been reported in the quarterly bulletins. The Annual Report provides information on what action has been taken where residues are found exceeding Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) or in situations where use of that pesticide would not be permitted in the UK. It also gives information on the future programme and issues affecting the PRC.
From this page you can download copies of all PRC Reports (either in full or in separate sections) and other documents relevant to those Reports. These will be in pdf format and you will be given instructions how to download the required software if you do not have it.
You can also obtain information on when future Reports will be published.
