That is 64% of all EU notifications on products from Madagascar and under 1% of all notifications on fruit and vegetables from any origin; Madagascar ranks 31 of 117 origins for this category. 3 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 4 in the 365 days before, down 25%.

Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
