Pesticide residues in jam from Slovenian stores in 2025
1Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, Central Laboratories, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Abstract:
Jam samples from the Slovenian market, originating from Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Serbia, and Slovenia, were analysed for the presence of 40 active substances authorised in the European Union, including 13 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Fourteen active substances were found in apricot, cherry, peach, plum, raspberry, and/or strawberry jam samples. No active substances were found in orange jam samples. By recalculating residues in jam to residues in fruit, using the fruit content in jam and, where possible, the processing factor for jam production, the residues did not exceed the maximum residue levels for fruit. Despite a high percentage of positive samples (65.5%), ecological samples were free from pesticides. Risk assessment indicated acceptable chronic and acute exposure for consumers.
