The monitoring program of pesticide residues on marketed agricultural products was performed in BFDA (Burea of Foos and Drug Anlaysis), Taiwan. A total of 1765 samples were collected in 2008 by the local health bureaus from supermarkets and traditional markets. The samples were analyzed by multi-residue testing method of pesticides, which were promulgated by the Department of Health of Taiwan. This method allows simultaneous determination of 196 items of pesticides by GC/ECD, GC/FPD and LC/MS/MS. One hundred and eighty-seven (14.8%) of the 1263 vegetable samples, 16 (3.9%) of the 408 fruit samples and 5 (5.3%) of the 94 other samples were violative to MRL. The overall rate of violation was 11.8%. Of the violative samples, 5 contained pesticide residues at levels above the MRL for the given pesticide to the given crops catogery. Two hundred three of the violative samples contained pesticide residue which were not allowed for use in those crops catogery. The local government has enforced the penalty to the supplier or farmer who provided the violative samples based on the Food Sanitation Control Act and its Enforcement Rules of Taiwan. |
