LIDL, ALDI, TESCO, REWE - Pesticide residue limits on Fruit & Veg

Hi there!

New here. Glad to see such a group of professionals trying to help each other.

I´m new to this world of private standars, and I realized how hard is to get info from the main retailers. I´m struggling to find - for example - LIDL requirements on Pesticide Residue for fruits and vegetables on Eurozone (they usually top the max residue to 33% of the EU MRL...but this is a "mouth to ear" thing, not based on official docs).

The same for the rest of the majors (rewe, aldi, tesco)...

How can I get this info?. Is being a supplier the only way to have and updated version of this standards??!. I would really appreciate some guidance.

Many thanks in advance!

Here is a link to the EUs MRLs

As far as I can see, yes you need to have applied to be a supplier in order to get access to corporate standards.  Likely someone else on this form may have some more corporate specific info for you

Hi inventia,

You might try a search here first. There are certainly posts here relating to the first 3 customers you list. Whether their Standards also i don't remember offhand.
