Plans for the surveillance and control of the contamination of foodstuffs of animal origin are organised each year by the Directorate General for Food (DGAL) in accordance with European regulations. For the beekeeping sector, samples are collected at the preliminary stage from French beekeepers. Pesticide residues (veterinary drugs and plant protection products) are analysed in honey using gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results of the 2014 and 2015 plans show low levels of contamination below the maximum residue limits (MRLs).
