In order to ensure that the self-management practice for controlling residual pesticides on agricultural produce was implemented by the supermarket and hypermarkets, an annual monitoring program was performed. A total of 251 samples, including 217 vegetable, 26 fruit and 8 other samples, were collected from 59 packing firms which supplied produce to the supermarkets and hypermarkets. All produce were analyzed for the residues of 196 pesticides. Among the tested produce, 220 samples complied with the regulation, whereas, the rest 31 samples were found containing pesticides which were not allowed for use on each detected produce category. Results of this monitoring were released to the public on the consumer protection website of the Department of Health. |
