National Food Residue Database

Site Map

Welcome to the National Food Residue Database (NFRD), developed by Ashtown Food Research Centre, TEAGASC.

The NFRD contains data on chemical residues and contaminants in foods in Ireland. The data is taken from annual residue monitoring programmes and from individual residues studies and surveys.

The scope of the data includes: veterinary drugs, prohibited substances, pesticides, heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs, mycotoxins, nitrates, PAHs, radionuclides, marine biotoxins and other chemical contaminants in food.

If this is your first time to search the NFRD we suggest you read the How to Use the Database section of the website before carrying out any searches.

This project is funded by the Food Institutional Research Measure (FIRM), The Department of Agriculture and Food under the National Development Plan.
