The 2025 report of the National Residue Monitoring Plan (NRMP) has been published on the website of the Italian Ministry of Health.

As part of the Plan, which provides for checks on products of animal origin at the primary production stage or during initial processing to detect prohibited or unauthorised pharmacologically active substances (Group A) and those authorised in veterinary medicinal products (Group B), in 2025, 26,920 samples were taken, on which 419,571 analytical determinations were carried out. There were 36 non-compliant samples, accounting for 0.1 per cent of the total. Among these, the most significant cases were found in samples taken on suspicion (3.3 per cent).

The results have already been forwarded to the European Food Safety Authority, in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2022/1646, for the preparation of the annual report containing the results from all Member States.
