According to latest figures presented by the European Commission it was informed that only 6% of the agricultural products in Malta had high levels of pesticides. In 2014, the Maltese Authority tested samples of more than 170 food products. Only 10 were found to contain high levels of pesticides and immediately action was taken against those responsible for their production. There were cases where they intervened at a field filled with vines preventing it to be sold in the market, or greenhouses with tomatoes that were stopped its distribution in the market.
