Survey of chemical substances in consumer products no. 188, 2022
The survey showed that pesticides are being used in imported flowers and associated products, and this also includes pesticides that are not allowed for use in the EU.
A large amount of the products are imported in particular into the Netherlands and Germany, from which they are distributed to Denmark among others.
It has been difficult to identify what the countries of origin are and, therefore, which specific pesticides can be used in specific products. The pesticides and quantities involved depend on the type of product and the country of production, which has not been definitively identified.
