Tests were carried out on 50 samples of six different fruit & vegetables.  13 samples did not contain any residues that they were analysed for and 37 contained residues within the maximum residue level (MRL).  Risk assessments concluded that none of the residues detected were expected to affect the health of children eating the produce.
