The list below gives each of these 5 rejections by date and RASFF reference, with the country that notified it and the hazard found; 4 carry the laboratory result.

Quarterly rejections, last 12 quarters

By commodity, last 156 weeks

"1 rejection per X t": tonnes of the same product imported for every one, over the same 156 weeks. A dash means fewer than 5 in the window, or under 1,000 t a year imported, too few to rate; the total row pools every product that has import tonnes on record.
