Currently there is big public sensitivity in all matters relating to food safety. The presence of pesticide residues (potentially toxic substances) in food is a growing concern of consumers, as evidenced by public opinion polls about made in different countries. In this connection the presence of pesticide residues, potentially toxic substances in food is a growing concern of consumers, as evidenced by opinion polls made in different countries. Consequently, the legal regulations regarding the use of pesticides are becoming increasingly strict.

In Spain, all authorized pesticides in horticulture have set a «maximum residue limit» (MRL), determined by toxic criteria that are controlled by programs updated each year. Such controls consist notably in sampling, in the analysis and identification of pesticides present, their respective residue levels. These controls consist of sampling, at the analysis and identification of pesticides present and their respective residue levels.
This regulation requires exporters to register the quantities of chemical products (pesticides, herbicides, pesticides etc.) used in the fields and MRL levels derived from laboratory tests.
