a
The occurrence data at Feed Catalogue Level 2 are reported only for feed categories with more than 60 analytical results
b
The 95th percentile obtained on occurrence data with fewer than 60 analytical results may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011b) and therefore not reported in the table and replaced by a dash.
