Orange juice: Attendees were informed that 22 samples of orange juice were tested for 54 pesticide residues. Three of the samples were imported from non-EC countries and 19 were of unknown origin. None of the samples contained any residues from those sought. None of the samples was labelled as organic.
One member asked whether both fresh and UHT samples were included in the survey. The Secretariat confirmed that this was the case, and agreed to add a statement to the introduction for this commodity.
