Pink Lady® apples are obligated to meet all food regulations and testing standards of the country in which they are sold. These include local standards around chemical residues.
A maximum residue level (MRL) is the highest level of chemical residue that is legally permitted and while MRLs can vary by region, the levels set are well below that which could cause harm to ensure safe consumption.
The European Commission fixes MRLs for all food and animal feed and maintains a MRL database on the Commission website.
In addition to regulatory requirements, all Pink Lady growers and pack houses must meet an approved food safety certification, such as Global Gap, in order to pack Pink Lady® apples. This includes the requirement to test for residues.
If an apple fails to measure up to the global Pink Lady® specification – including food safety certification - that apple cannot be branded as a Pink Lady®.
We always recommend washing apples before consumption as a matter of general hygiene, and we also strongly recommend eating apples with the skin on as it is the most nutritious part of the fruit.
